Study in the U.S.A. - Southeast (in English) - ISEP Exchange
As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.
HOUSING
All exchange students are required to live on-campus in one of Loyola's residence halls. In order to live in the residence halls, you must apply for housing. Residential Life will email instructions and a login to apply for housing. The housing that is covered will be only in Buddig or Biever Hall and only in a shared double room. When choosing other accommodation options additional charges will apply. Please contact your ISEP Student Services Officer for accommodation requests.
Students can remain in the residence halls during vacation periods during the semester.
MEALS
Students will receive the equivalent of the full meal plan (19 meals per week). Students can choose to receive one of the meal plans, an equivalent stipend to be used on or off campus, or a combination of the two.The default meal plan is the "Combo 9" with 9 meal swipes per week + 75 Flex meals + $600 Wolf Bucks.
The advisor will work with the student to select the appropriate plan. Students can use dining facilities during breaks when open or use their stipend off-campus.
*Calendar Year students are not eligible for ISEP housing and meal benefits over the summer break.
Course Description
Loyola University New Orleans (Loyola) has a broad range of course offerings from business, to liberal arts, to visual and performing arts, law & criminal studies, and physical sciences. For unique fields of study, consider Loyola's courses in forensic chemistry, digital filmmaking, hip hop & RnB, jazz studies, and popular and commercial music. All courses available to ISEP students are taught in English and at the undergraduate level.
Internships, undergraduate research, service-learning, and volunteer opportunities are open to ISEP students. Internships are available with permission of the Center for International Education. Students are responsible for finding their own internship opportunities and can use the Loyola Career Development Center for assistance. Loyola University Community Action Program (LUCAP) offers volunteering opportunities. Some courses at Loyola have internships and/or service-learning built into the coursework. Students who want to volunteer for credit must alert their ISEP SSO for further approval and may need to be processed as Academic Training.
Undergraduate research is available through specific courses in varying fields of study. Other undergraduate research opportunities depend on the department and professor's engagement and connection with students. Students studying at Loyola for a full academic or calendar year are best set up to do longer and more thorough research.
Please contact your ISEP Student Services Officer for additional information on internships, research, and more.
