The College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University has been ranked among the top baccalaureate schools nationally for the total number of students who studied abroad for the 12th consecutive year. Before graduating, 56 percent of all CSB and SJU students will participate in a study abroad program. Annually, CSB and SJU offer students 19 semester-long programs, 15 of which are faculty-led. CSB and SJU also conduct more than 20 short-term programs. The study was conducted by Open Doors 2016, the annual report on international education published by the Institute of International Education. The release of the Open Doors report comes during the celebration of International Education Week.
