All full-time students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences with at least a 2.000 GPA and third-year status are eligible to participate in one of the John Belk International Program options.  Part-time students and Hayworth College students are eligible to participate on a spac-available basis by paying the full price of the program; CAS students who choose to take more than one study tour also pay the full price for the second program.

With the exception of those in the junior year Study Abroad programs, Queens students participate in the JBIP following completion of the spring semester of their junior year; they are not permitted to participate once they have graduated.  Each spring, rising juniors select the program that best fits their interests and academic needs for the coming year.
