Dear Student,
Many University of Arizona study abroad programs are open to non-UA students. The programs listed below offer UA credit, which means that the courses you complete abroad will be documeted on an official UA transcript.
Each year, hundreds of students from across the country earn University of Arizona credit by studying abroad. The UA Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange offers students from colleges and universities around the United States a full range of advising and support services. These services focus on such issues as program selection, academic planning, registration, credit, financial aid, and on-site support.
If you are a non-UA student and would like to take part in one of our programs, you will need to complete both our online application and the UA application for non-degree admission. This will enable you to receive UA credit for transfer back to your home institution. Below is a list of our faculty-led programs currently open to non-UA students:
