If you’re looking to study abroad through an organization that provides a variety of program and educational options, then you’ve come to the right place. At USAC, we provide students with two types of program models: Specialty and Partnership. Our 26 specialty programs are located in 16 countries and are designed and operated by USAC staff. We also offer 25 Partnership program locations in 13 countries. On our Partnership programs, we collaborate with a partner university abroad and USAC functions as the intermediary between you and the overseas university, helping you become a foreign student enrolled at a partner university.
Partnership programs allow students to earn overseas credit and integrate into classes with local students and staff. At many places, you have access to the full university curriculum in addition to courses taught specifically for visiting students. We recently had the chance to visit with 12 of our Partnership universities and hear about their university, including what is available to USAC students.
If you’re considering studying abroad at one of our Partnership locations, we recommend checking out the presentations below.
