With hundreds of unique programs abroad and locally, students can find the perfect fit for their academic, personal, and professional goals, as well as their budget. We encourage you to carefully research your options using the Program Search, and attend a Huskers Abroad 101 session to get started.
UNL Faculty-led Programs
Attend courses developed, taught, and led by University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty member(s). Courses are often experiential and, in some cases, the faculty leader will arrange service learning opportunities to supplement the coursework. Register for and receive UNL course credits and grades just like an on-campus course; however, some opportunities may include transfer credit. Locations and courses vary each year so keep checking Via-TRM for additional programs. Low enrollment numbers may result in the cancellation of a program/course but students will be notified as early as possible so they can have time to plan for a backup option.
Many courses run during the summer sessions, but some run over winter or spring break or for a full semester. Choose from over 20 programs in destinations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America!
Exchange Programs
Challenge and distinguish yourself by studying as a fully-integrated student at a host institution for a semester or academic year. Exchange programs demand a high level of maturity and independence. Language programs often require strong language skills. The opportunities are competitive and deadlines are earlier than other program types. Exchange programs can be very cost-effective, as you will pay the amount of tuition and fees to UNL for 15 credit hours at the resident tuition rate based on your major and take classes at the partner institution, while a student from the partner institution takes classes at UNL.
Affiliated Programs
Affiliated programs are education abroad programs administered by other U.S. and foreign universities, nonprofit organizations, and private companies. These programs offer you a wide range of disciplines and destinations. Students will receive support from UNL Global Experiences Office, but students will also work directly with the affiliate organization's staff. On-site support and staff will be from the affiliate organization. Be sure to check all of the program information in Via-TRM and on the affiliate organization’s website.
Unlisted Programs
There are many program options listed in VIA TRM. Most students find that VIA offers “too many” rather than “too few” opportunities. In general, students are encouraged to pursue programs that are listed in VIA and administered by UNL and/or its partner institutions and organizations. Pursuing an unlisted opportunity may require significant independence and maturity, as UNL does not have a formal relationship with the program and the program may not offer comprehensive student support services.
