University Information
BYU International Study Programs (ISP) offers varied types of experiences abroad in an effort to meet the diverse needs and goals of students. We offer four main types of programs:
• Study Abroad: A group of students live together and are led by on-site BYU faculty.
• International Internship: This is an independent, work-oriented experience. (BYU students only.)
• Direct Enrollment (Student Exchange): A student enrolls at a contracted university overseas while paying only BYU tuition. (BYU students only.)
• Field School: This is a hands-on research-based cohort experience abroad.

"I can't even explain it all in this post! I learned about culture, healthcare, made so many friends while there, tried new foods, and got to sight see all around the country! I even learned a little bit of Mandarin. I loved it. "

"This was an amazing program and amazing opportunity. I loved living in Paris and I thought that the study abroad program was the perfect way to experience my first true abroad stay. I was able to integrate myself into the culture and language but also have support and help from my American classmates and professors."

"I learned that I'm capable of more than I thought, and that I shouldn't go into a experience with too high of expectations, because they aren't always met. But it was worthwhile in the end and I know myself better than I have before. "

Lars W Brigham Young University
"Not only did I learn many new things about Art History, but I learned more about myself personally. I gained confidence that I didn't know I had. I also reached out of my comfort zone that made me a much better person. Every decision I made while abroad was worthwhile!"

"I learned a lot about Shakespeare and theatre in general. I finally learned to like and appreciate Shakespeare's works, and I fell completely in love with theatre.

A student Brigham Young University
