Program Types

Affiliate Programs - facilitated by UNT approved organizations or program providers

Affiliate programs are designed specifically for U.S. students. Programs are held at the university or the institute associated with the affiliate.

The Study Abroad Office has approved all affiliate programs for academic rigor, safety, security, housing and meals.

Program fees vary, but most affiliates charge a comprehensive fee including housing, food, and tuition. Consult your chosen affiliate's website for detailed information. Students are responsible for airfare and miscellaneous spending.

Financial aid and study abroad scholarships may be applied toward affiliate programs.

Exchange Programs - direct enroll at a partner university abroad

Exchange programs allow for a semester or full year at a partner university. Exchange programs offer full cultural immersion in campus life and help tremendously with second language acquisition.

Exchange students enroll in the partner university as matriculated students and are responsible for all required course work and exams. Students most often live in university housing.

Financial aid and study abroad scholarships may be applied toward exchange programs. Students pay the equivalent UNT tuition and fees plus international airfare and daily living expenses. You are enrolled at UNT while participating in an exchange program. Grades earned abroad will be applied to your GPA as transfer credit.

Faculty Led Programs - study abroad with UNT faculty and students

Faculty Led programs are a great option for first-time travelers as they tend to be the most structured of our programs and include a wide variety of UNT classes. Faculty Led programs allow you to take one or two 3-credit UNT courses, pay through your student account with UNT financial aid and/or study abroad scholarships, and earn UNT credit. Numerous opportunities are available during the Summer and Winter Sessions.

Global Intensive Opportunities - short-term professional experience with UNT faculty and students

Global Intensive Opportunities are shorter field experiences abroad with a UNT faculty leader that are connected to an on-campus class. The Global Intensive Opportunity (GIO) is included on your transcript as a zero credit pass/no pass course.

GIOs are our most affordable program type and generally run from 8-12 days.

Recommended Programs by Major

The Study Abroad Office has worked with departments and colleges across campus to create a list of preferred programs for their students. These program recommendations are based on alignment with UNT major-specfic requirements to ensure students can take courses which align with their degree plans and graduate on time. 

Students who wish to participate in a program outside of their major's recommended programs list should work more closely with their study abroad advisor and academic advisor to establish suitable transfer credit options.
