A UNCG student in good standing may spend a summer, semester or academic year abroad in several ways.
Academic Year and Semester Abroad Programs
- UNCG Exchange Programs. Through various exchange agreements, a UNCG student may swap places with a student in another country. Under these arrangements, students study abroad for approximately the cost of being in residence at UNCG. Opportunities for such exchange are currently available in Australia, Canada, China, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
- The University of North Carolina Exchange Programs (UNC-EP). Through this UNC program (headquartered at UNCG), UNCG is able to place students in any of 35 countries overseas. These programs are available through either UNC-EP negotiated exchange agreements or through the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a Washington-based exchange organization. The cost of such study is about the same as being in residence at UNCG.
- Semester Abroad Programs. UNCG offers
other study abroad semester programs to several countries including India and Russia. Although not student exchange
programs, these study abroad options are nonetheless less costly than study abroad opportunities offered through
most other providers.
- Non-UNCG Programs. A UNCG student may spend a summer, semester, or year abroad under the auspices of a group or institution approved by the UNCG Study Abroad Committee. While generally more costly than ISEP or the UNCG programs, this option may be of interest to students seeking particular experiences not otherwise available.
Summer Abroad Programs
UNCG professors regularly lead student groups overseas. Over the past few years, groups have gone to such countries as Costa Rica, France, Greece, Spain, and the United Kingdom. These programs generally involve five or six weeks of supervised travel and study, followed by an additional three weeks of independent travel.
