Study Abroad

The Study Abroad program at the University of Illinois offers numerous opportunities for students who wish to study off-campus in another country. Students may study abroad for a semester, summer, or academic year and may select from exchange programs in western European countries, Asia, Latin America, Great Britain, Australia, and Africa. A student's program for study abroad must have prior approval from the major department, the student's college, and the Study Abroad Office. Final determination of appropriate credits is made upon the student's completion of the work after returning to campus. Studying abroad may delay graduation by a semester or more for students in the College of Education due to the unique nature of field-based professional education courses required in the junior and senior years of enrollment.

Students interested in studying abroad should contact the Study Abroad Office no later than September for spring programs and December for summer and fall programs.
