Students may earn credit for study at one of Fordham's summer programs in Ireland, Ghana or Korea, or at another summer study program approved by the American Bar Association. Courses in all of these programs are in English. Summer study may not be used to accelerate a student's graduation.

Students should consider whether a summer abroad program might conflict with Early Interview Week. Please contact the Career Planning Center for more information.
