Seminar Abroad

GLOA 710: Seminar Abroad (3 credits)

The list of upcoming locations with faculty leading them is as follows:

Winter 2027  January 2027, Switzerland and France with Dr. Ann Ludwick
Summer 2027  May/June 2027, Belgium with Dr. Jonathon Repinecz
Winter 2028  January 2028, Germany with Dr. Andrea Zach

Seminars held in January are part of the spring semester for registration purposes, while seminars held in May or June are part of the summer semester. Each faculty member will have an information session the semester before the trip. The Global Education Office handles the application and course registration. 

It is recommended that students apply for the high-impact grant the semester before the actual seminar. You can also find information on scholarships and grants on this page. 

If you would like to request to waive the seminar abroad, you must complete this form and submit it to globalma@gmu.edu (at least one semester before you will need the decision). Please note that submitting the form is not a guarantee that it will be approved. If approved, you must still complete the 30 credits required for the MA program. 

Accelerated MA/BAM students are not eligible to participate in the seminar abroad until they have transitioned into the MA program.
