Semester and Yearlong Programs
"Studying abroad isn’t just an important part of a well-rounded educational experience. It’s also becoming increasingly important for success in the modern global economy... It’s also about the experience you have with the world beyond our borders — with people, and languages, and cultures that are very different from our own." - Michelle Obama, First Lady of the United States of America
Overview:
- All financial aid applies to all programs
- Benefits: foreign language abilities, cross-cultural skills, and international experience
- Many universities offer a number of courses taught in English - foreign language knowledge is not required for all programs, but it is highly recommended
- Courses in foreign universities transfer as ERAU credit, based on approval from corresponding department chairs, deans, and/or course curriculum monitors
- Students pay same tuition as if they were to stay on campus; this is how exchanges work
