Study Abroad Opportunities Await

Two student study abroad opportunities for residential and online students within the Master of Health Administration (MHA), and/or Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs involve established partnerships with St. Elizabeth University in Slovakia, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.

The University of Scranton offers two student study abroad opportunities for residential and online students within the Master of Health Administration (MHA), and/or Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs. These study-abroad opportunities involve established partnerships with St. Elizabeth University in Slovakia, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. Both study-abroad opportunities focus on developing research topics and presenting them to other students, physicians, faculty, and other executives at each of these universities. A Global Health Specialization can also be added to either of these degrees. There are currently two 10-day study-abroad opportunities in both Eastern Europe and South America.

Past study-abroad students have visited countries such as Brazil, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and the Netherlands. This specialization aims to enhance healthcare leadership skills with a global perspective, preparing students to collaborate with relief organizations, government agencies, and leaders in various countries. Participants gain firsthand experience addressing challenges in international healthcare systems, develop intercultural communication skills, and engage in discussions on global health management, public health, and social justice. Each 10-day travel course contributes three credits to the curriculum.

Students who are interested in studying abroad can contact Dr. Dan West at daniel.west@scranton.edu, or Dr. Steven Szydlowski at steven.szydlowski@scranton.edu.
