Syracuse University Abroad Implements Merit-Based Admissions and Expands Fall Programs

Syracuse University Abroad has announced new merit-based changes to its study abroad admission process and expanded fall programs. Admission decisions will now be based on 'academic fit' and a 'comprehensive review' of a student's GPA, with priority for certain groups, moving away from a first-come, first-served application system. These changes aim to enhance transparency and address spring overcapacity concerns.
