Coronavirus Impact on Study Abroad

Towson University continues to actively monitor the outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and safety of our students remains our primary concern. We know that the outbreak and spread of this virus is concerning to all members of the Towson University community both at home and abroad.

Together with our international partners, Towson University is taking all necessary precautions to provide for the health and safety of our students and to allow for the continuation of academic programming in case of possible temporary closures. We remain committed to supporting our students during their study abroad experience. Towson University will make decisions based on the latest information available, including current recommendations by the U.S. Department of State and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and in consultation with our international partners and affiliate providers. TU will continually evaluate this rapidly evolving situation based on the recommendations of both host country and U.S. public health authorities and will take alternative action as appropriate.
