SUMMER STUDY ABROAD

Villanova Law is committed to enhancing its diversity, fostering intellectual growth, and providing students with a global perspective.

Each year, in conjunction with one of our Centers of Excellence, our faculty curate an international experience tailored to our students' interests. Examples include our international and comparative law in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as international entrepreneurship in the fashion industry in Milano, Italy. 

As part of this commitment, the Law School offers students a variety of opportunities to learn about and participate in activities relating to international and comparative law. In addition to an array of international and comparative law courses in its curriculum, Villanova provides opportunities to study and participate in externships abroad. 

Through these programs, Villanova seeks to achieve the following educational objectives:

• Facilitate the interchange of ideas among Villanova Law students and students and faculty from different backgrounds, cultures and legal systems;
• Foster respect for diverse viewpoints;
• Develop an understanding of the sources and systems of law of other countries and cultures;
• Expose students to the impact of globalization on law, business and society;
• Afford students the invaluable experience of living and studying in another culture; and
• Allow students to experience educational opportunities that they could not otherwise experience while studying on-campus.
