The College of Nursing, in conjunction with the Office of Education Abroad, is pleased to offer a variety of opportunities for Nursing students to study in an overseas university during their course of studies.
The College of Nursing offers a study abroad program in Dingle, Ireland in conjunction with Sacred Heart University during the Fall semester of sophomore year. In addition, the College of Nursing offers a year-long study abroad program with the University of Manchester in Manchester, England. In both cases, students will work closely with their academic advisors to craft their plan of study to ensure transfer of credits and an on-time graduation with their classmates. The Manchester Program requires some changes in the first-year course of study; any first-year who is interested should contact the Associate Dean of the Undergraduate Nursing Program or their academic advisor as early as possible.
Nursing students may participate in international opportunities offered by the College of Nursing as elective experiences. A nursing major may also participate in any of the summer or semester study abroad programs approved by the University and administered by the Office of Education Abroad. However, since these are not nursing programs, students who participate need to change their course of study and may graduate later than their graduation class. Interested students should see the detailed discussion of International Studies in the Villanova University section of this Catalog or contact the Office of Education Abroad, Middleton Hall, second floor, (phone 610-519-6412).
