Add an international component to your education. Catholic University offers nursing-specific study abroad options in Australia, Ireland, and Nicaragua.

Australia

Each spring semester, the Conway School of Nursing also offers an Exchange Program with the Australian Catholic University (ACU) School of Nursing. Not only will you be able to experience living in Australia, but also add an international dimension to your nursing education. Nursing students participate in this exchange during the months of January through June of each year. Catholic University students must be sophomores in good academic standing, and there are specific admission requirements in order for students to be considered for this exchange. Students participating in this learning opportunity must take specific courses during their preceding fall semester of study; consequently those students considering this program should consult with their Conway School of Nursing Academic Advisor at the end of their freshman year of academic study. This permits an even match between the Catholic University curriculum program plan and the ACU courses that are completed during study abroad.
