Exciting News for Spring 2026! We're working hard this summer to improve our semester programs for Spring 2026 and
beyond. Please monitor this page closely throughout the summer break for updates.
We'll post new program information ahead of the start of the Fall 2025 semester. In
the meantime, please note that the options listed below may no longer be available.
Instructions
Review our approved semester programs below. Cal Lutheran only allows participation in these approved options.
Apply to OEA using the "OEA Application" button for your specific program of interest. If you're
applying for the Early Action, you can specify your program of interest in the application.
Apply to the host program directly through its website or following OEA's instructions. You must receive approval
from OEA before you can complete your host application.
March 15th: All fall programs (except the Oxford Program)
September 15th: All spring semester programs
November 1st: Oxford Program (one year in advance)
Costs and Aid
All Cal Lutheran semester programs charge standard tuition and fees, a housing fee,
a meal plan (if meals are provided), and a Study Abroad Student Fee. Students retain their full financial aid package, including state and federal aid, grants, loans,
and Cal Lutheran-specific scholarships, with the sole exception of work-study.
For more details, please review program fees on our Finances page.
Selectivity
Please note that all programs have limited capacity. Cal Lutheran can only approve
and nominate a limited number of students for programs. Please review our selection
criteria on our Application & Commitment page.
Interested in applying early for a semester program? Submit an Early Action application up to a year in advance of your intended term off-campus! You can plan ahead for
academic-year registration and add a placeholder to your future term on one of our
programs.
OEA will review your application in advance of its regular deadlines and decide whether
to approve it provisionally. Selection is also not guaranteed or secured with an Early Action application, as some
programs are competitive. OEA will reach out to you with further instructions, as you may be able to apply early
to your host program, as well.
