What Are My Options?

All Education Abroad Programs can be found on Stockton's ViaTRM Portal, link here: ViaTRM Portal 

Note: Applying for an education abroad/study abroad program in the ViaTRM Portal is free. We advise students to apply to one (1) program per semester after their OGE 101 Consultation. Once a student confirms their program and initiates the pre-departure process, all matriculated students on Stockton-approved programs abroad pay a one-time, $200 study abroad fee. Non-matriculated students pay $300.

NSE benefits include minimized travel costs, accessibility for those unable to leave the country or students without a passport, those interested in a shorter travel distance, and/or those who need to be closer to home on short notice. 
  • Pay Stockton's tuition & fees, maximizing your Financial Aid benefits. Housing and meals costs are dependent on the partner institution and paid by the student. Due to the diverse selection of schools, Room & Board costs at NSE schools are often less expensive than Stockton's per semester.

  • Students will have 2 applications to complete. The first application is in the ViaTRM Portal for Stockton approval.

  • Placement: Each Spring, NSE Schools match with their prospective students during a national placement event (Priority Placement), based on availability of the school and student academics.
