Connect with the Center for Global Education
Welcome to Study Abroad and International Student Support Services at Shippensburg University.
Due to travel disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the opportunity to study abroad continues to be closely monitored by the University. Students seeking information about overseas experiences in 2023 should contact Ms. Mary Burnett, Director of Global Engagement, meburnett@ship.edu, for an advising appointment.
