Education Abroad
UNC Education Abroad office facilitates and administers all UNC education abroad programming activities that include study abroad bilateral exchange programs, affiliated study abroad programs via approved affiliated providers, field study programs, international student internships, international service learning opportunities, custom academic programs, and faculty-led study abroad programs.
Field Study pedagogy revolves around experiential study outside the classroom setting, including field research, internships, service-learning, archaeological field school, teaching abroad, and field biology.
Faculty-Led/Faculty-Directed programs are directed by a faculty member (or members) from the home campus who accompanies students abroad.
Embedded Program/ Course-Embedded Study Abroad programs are study abroad experiences that form an integral part of, or an optional add-on to, a course given on the home campus.
Bilateral Exchanges involve reciprocal movement of individuals between two institutions. Students participating in bilateral exchange programs may pay home tuition and fees or the host institution directly, according to the individual exchange agreement.
UNC students participating in any education abroad programming must apply via the UNC Global study abroad portal on the UNC Education Abroad page. https://www.unco.edu/cie/study-abroad/
