Education Abroad

Today’s employers seek graduates who are able to communicate in at least one foreign language, have multicultural knowledge, can negotiate with people from different cultures and have the basic skills to work outside the United States — all skills that can be garnered from an education abroad experience. Students interested in an education abroad experience should consult with an education abroad advisor early in their college careers to learn about UT’s portfolio of education abroad programs, procedures and opportunities. Some types of financial aid and scholarships are available for education abroad programs. Interested students are required to prepare and register all international experiences with the Office of International Programs by submitting an application (deadlines listed within program descriptions), attending a pre-departure session and enrolling in UT international health insurance. More information and forms are available at http://www.ut.edu/international/.

UT undergraduate students applying to study abroad must have a minimum 2.5 GPA or higher and must be in good conduct standing. Graduate students will have a minimum of a 3.00 GPA or higher and will be in good conduct standing. Students should speak with an education abroad advisor regarding any questions related to eligibility.
