Your path to global learning

Students can spend as short as ten days or as long as a year. There are many options available. How long a student goes abroad will also determine how many credits they earn for their time abroad and the overall costs of their program.

The University of Louisville has many places around the world for students’ participation in education abroad. Through a variety of campus-sponsored programs, exchanges, and program providers, we are able to make a wide variety of locations available to students. Please keep in mind, not all locations are available or may not offer the courses a student requires for their academic program. For more information email edabroad@louisville.edu.

Planning

Education abroad is meant to enhance your academic progress. Discussing your options as early as possible will ensure that it is an enriching experience.

A student may start meeting with the education abroad advisor during their first semester at the University of Louisville. By meeting early with the education abroad advisor, students can ensure that the time abroad will meet their academic needs while still being able to actively participate in campus life, pursue leadership opportunities and find internships.
