Study Abroad

Exposure to and familiarity with diverse cultures is a key component of the lifelong commitment to intellectual inquiry and social justice that Sacred Heart challenges all of its students to embrace. For Honors students in particular, participation in a Study Abroad program is a great way to add depth to their studies. Students may choose from a traditional semester-long opportunity or an intensive experience in winter or summer.

SHU Dingle | Dingle, Ireland

Sacred Heart University’s global campus on the Western coast of Ireland offers immersive experiences during the winter, summer and semester. All courses involve experiential learning and allow students the opportunity to delve into Irish culture.
