Education Abroad

Where Do You Want to Go? 

UAA offers hundreds of education abroad opportunities for students, including study abroad programs through third party providers, international student exchange programs, international internship programs, faculty-led programs, and more! Students have the opportunity to earn UAA credit abroad that can apply to your degree program. Whether you go for a few weeks, a semester, or a year, there's a program that's just right for you! You can even go on more than one program! While some programs do have foreign language requirements, many others are taught in English and/or offer beginning-level language courses. Costs depend on the program and location, but you can use most financial aid on program costs and there are lots of scholarships opportunities available.
