²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ

Approved Programs

²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ has approved over 100 non-²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ off-campus study programs to over 50 countries, expanding the options and opportunities for students to explore nearly any academic interest.

²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ Approved Programs

Approved programs expand off-campus study opportunities beyond what is available in ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµâ€™s extensive study group programs

Approved programs have been carefully evaluated by ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ faculty for curricular fit, academic rigor, on-site support services, emergency management, and opportunities for meaningful engagement with the host culture. Only programs that are on ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ's list are approved for off-campus study.

NOTE: Students may participate in only one semester-long approved program. Petitions for two different approved programs will not be allowed.

Academic Credit

Unlike ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµâ€™s study groups, the academic credits students earn on approved programs are not guaranteed to be recognized at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ as credit toward graduation. Students participating in an approved program should therefore plan ahead and obtain course pre-approvals for transferring credit to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ.

Costs and Aid

When participating on an approved program, students will be invoiced normally for their ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ tuition, plus the cost of any room and board and visa costs billed by the approved program sponsor. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ will then pay the cost of the approved program on the student’s behalf.

Financial Aid

²ÝÝ®ÊÓÆµ grant recipients may receive additional financial assistance to meet the increased costs of participating in an approved program. Please review the Costs and Aid page for full information and restrictions.
