Apply for Study Abroad

Students interested in studying abroad must submit a completed application to the Office of Study Abroad (OSA). Only completed applications will be reviewed by the Harvey Mudd Study Abroad Committee (SAC). Late applications will not be considered.

Acceptance to most programs is a two-step process, first requiring approval from the SAC. Upon approval, the student can then apply to the program sponsor or host institution.
