<p>I'm wondering if its at all possible for sophomores at SCU to travel abroad spring semester sophomore year.</p>

<p>Yes, but you must meet the eligibility requirements.</p>
<p>it may not be possible. I heard yesterday at Admitted Students Day, that students go abroad 1st quarter/Fall Junior year. In thinking about it later, I am guessing that because it is a quarter system, you cannot go abroad in the spring, because then you miss 2 quarters. Many abroad programs are based on the semester system, so even if all the credits transfer, you would still be behind, because you miss 2 quarters. the timing is just very different in the spring.</p>
<p>but, I could very well be wrong. You should call the Study Abroad office, or email them, and ask. Many moons ago, I went abroad my Sophomore year, for 2 semesters, and it was great going early because I took all my core/general ed classes abroad, and then had time Jr and Sr year to work on my major classes back at school.</p>
<p>Good point, I hadn’t even thought of that. If you’re determined, and come in with enough AP credits, or overload as a freshman, it is possible to go abroad as a sophomore in the fall at least. I wouldn’t recommend it, however.</p>
