Study Abroad Center
The UNI Study Abroad Center strives to provide service and leadership in international education to UNI students, faculty, staff, the community and the State of Iowa.
Many programs are 'exchange,' where students pay UNI tuition to go abroad for a semester and earn credits towards their UNI degree. We also offer faculty-led programs over the summer and winter break sessions for two to three weeks where students travel with a UNI professor and class of fellow UNI students. A variety of credit options are offered including UNIFI.
To get started, please refer to the "Study Abroad Process" page on the main menu. We also have a page that explains the different "Types of Programs" that are offered. To start the application process, students must schedule a First Steps meeting with an advisor in our office. To schedule this, you can visit any program page or click "Schedule an Appointment" on the main menu.
