USI offers study abroad opportunities in more than 50 countries around the globe. With advance planning, it is possible for students in virtually any major to participate in an overseas program. Programs offer a variety of experiences, from specialized courses taught entirely in English to direct enrollment in the foreign university. Students receive USI credit for the coursework completed during the summer, semester or academic year at an approved USI study abroad location.
The University is committed to making study abroad affordable as well as accessible to all students. The costs of some USI study abroad programs are based on tuition, room and board at USI. Since participants pay program fees to USI and receive USI credit, they can continue to apply their scholarship and other financial aid towards those fees.
Important Dates and Deadlines
General Timeline:
The earlier you begin planning a study abroad experience the better prepared you will be. Beginning to plan your experience one year in advance is ideal for a long-term program. It is possible to plan just one semester ahead. Short-term, summer, and faculty-led programs offer more flexibility and can be planned in a few months-time. Each program will have an application deadline and some requirements such as essays, obtaining a passport, and obtaining letters of reference take some time. Please plan appropriately.
