Study Abroad

All NEIU students have the opportunity to participate in study-based travel outside the United States. Commonly known as "study abroad," it can be an incredibly powerful, even life-changing experience.

There are a few different study abroad formats NEIU has to offer. Depending on the program, it could last for just a week, or it could even last for a full semester.

In order to be eligible for any of these programs, your name must be submitted to and approved by NEIU's Behavioral Concerns Team. 

1. Exchange Programs 

If you're interested in a program that is longer than a week or two, you might want to participate in an Exchange Program.

Students can spend the fall or spring semester taking classes at one of our International Partner Universities located in six of the seven continents. Some of these universities also have slightly shorter summer programs.

You still pay NEIU tuition and fees to us. This is good, because in most cases, your regular financial aid benefits still apply.

Classes abroad must be pre-approved before you leave.
