FAQ

Why do a summer study abroad program with CSO?
Take advantage of lower tuition rates and the opportunity to experience a new culture and country! Our unique partnerships with universities around the world allow our students to take summer courses across a wide variety of disciplines with transferrable credits. We believe in giving students the best possible experience abroad, which is why we dedicate our time and resources to give you 24/7 on-site support while abroad and assist you with all the necessary travel arrangements.
To be admitted into one of our summer sessions, we require that students have a minimum 2.3/4.0 GPA (60% or higher) with good academic standing and no academic record. Where applicable, we also require that students demonstrate English language abilities with an IELTS score of greater than 6.0 (or TOFEL score greater than 60). Once students submit an online application, our student service staff will assist you with checking your eligibility.
All students are welcome to apply for CSO scholarships given that they meet the basic program eligibility requirements. We do our best to guarantee a scholarship for each student that applies for our programs; but be sure to note that the earlier you apply for a summer program, the higher the scholarship amounts available!
Yes, you can! In fact, many of our students have chosen to do this. For many, they would like to complete as many of their courses during the summer break as possible. We allow students to select a maximum of 5 courses, and these can be spread across both summer session months—June and July. For example, students may choose to complete 3 courses in June and 2 courses in July, though the choice is entirely yours!
At most destinations, students can choose to stay in on-campus dormitories/residences or off-campus housing which are always located within commuting distance of the university’s campus. CSO staff will assist each applicant in establishing overseas accommodations.
Given our wide variety of courses that range across most undergraduate disciplines, the choice typically comes down to the type of program you are currently pursuing at your home university. Students often choose to take elective courses and/or core module courses. Whatever the case, we recommend that you submit an online application and specify all the courses you would like to take or are interested in. We work with you through course consultations to identify the best options available that meet your personal, academic, and career goals.
