We're migrating to a new application portal!

During our transition period, we request that students not start any new applications in Horizons after June 1, 2025. Students with active applications in Horizons will have their information migrated to the new system automatically. The platform will experience projected downtime from June 30 through August 15, 2025 before the new platform is launched.

When you take part in one of Emerson’s semester-long exchange programs at one of our strategic partner institutions, you’ll not only get to work towards your degree requirements while immersing yourself in exciting cities such as Barcelona and Hong Kong—you’ll get to experience the city like a local. In order to qualify, students must be in good academic standing and have completed their first year at Emerson.

Places are limited so students should speak with Corey Blackmar, Director of Global Partnerships and Internationalization.
