Joint Programs in Law and Dentistry

joint programs in law and dentistry for academically able students who
are committed to public service. These special programs are designed
to serve students seeking a career in public-service law or students
who wish to practice dentistry in medically underserved communities.
UM-Kansas City will hold a reserved seat in its School of Law or in
the School of Dentistry for qualified UM-St. Louis entering freshmen
and make it available to them after they complete the required undergraduate
studies at UM-St. Louis.
Study Abroad Programs
The University of Missouri-St.
Louis is committed to broadening students' understanding of different cultures
and preparing them for the global community in which we live. One of the
most successful ways of achieving this "global mindset" is to
study overseas for a summer, semester, or year program. Spending time abroad
as a student is an enriching experience both academically and personally,
providing students with the opportunity to study within a different culture.
The Center for International Studies provides UM-St. Louis students
with opportunities to study at over 80 different universities in more
than 30 countries around the globe. Through individual advising at the
center's Study Abroad Office, students can find the program best suited
to their personal, academic, and career goals. Internship possibilities
are also available for qualified students.
Fees and Financial Aid
The cost of the program depends
on the services provided and the country and city of study. For most
programs, participants continue to pay UM-St. Louis fees plus airfare,
room and board, and spending money. Students are usually housed in dormitories
or are assisted in finding apartments. In most cases, students are able
to apply financial aid to a study abroad program. Study abroad scholarships
are available for qualified applicants through the Center for International
Studies.
Application
Generally, applications are due in mid-February
for summer and fall semesters, and the end of September for winter semester.
Some programs require application two semesters prior to participation.
Students should plan to spend at least one or two months researching
a program before applying.
Participant selection is based on academic achievement, faculty recommendations,
approval of the proposed course of study via the department/divisional
advisory process, and familiarity with or willingness to learn the foreign
language of instruction. Most programs are designed for undergraduate
students in their junior or senior years of study; however, a limited
number of programs for freshmen, sophomores, and graduate students are
available.
