Types of Programs
Iowa State Programs
These programs include ISU faculty-led short-term experiences from one to eight weeks that award ISU credit, exchange, and direct enroll options lasting a semester or academic year.As per the International Travel Registration Policy, US territories and protectorates should be considered international travel, and therefore travel to these locations needs to follow the same process as international travel.
Non-ISU Programs
If your search on ISUAbroad doesn't provide what you're looking for, you can consider enrolling through another U.S. institution or program provider or enrolling directly in a foreign institution. We call this a non-ISU program. Iowa State has not reviewed these options, so it is your responsibility to research these programs thoroughly before applying. You apply both through the sponsoring provider and by clicking the button below to create a non-ISU application. Financial aid and registration activation at ISU may still apply. Visit the staff in the Study Abroad Center for more information.International Credit and Non-Credit Activities
