The Office of International Programs administers University of Michigan academic year, semester, spring, and summer study abroad programs in countries throughout the world. It also provides academic advising regarding official University of Michigan programs, formal matriculation at foreign institutions, and general information regarding study abroad through other colleges and universities.

Students interested in earning credit toward a degree in the College by participating in a study abroad program should carefully study the material on the College's "Residence Policy" in Chapter IV and on "Non-LS&A Course Work" in Chapter III.

Programs Abroad Sponsored and Administered by the University of Michigan

All of the programs listed in this section award in-residence, not transfer, credit. Course work completed on these programs, and the grades earned, will appear on the student's U-M academic record. In some programs study abroad grades will be calculated into the student's grade point average. However, grades received on direct-enrollment study programs, in which students participate in classes and other academic activities on the same basis as host university degree students, are not.

Applicants for all programs should have a good academic record (3.0 GPA is recommended). Programs involving enrollment in regular classes at foreign universities frequently require junior or senior standing by the time the program begins, though some options are also available to sophomores. Many programs have language pre-requisites, while others offer coursework in English. Students who qualify for financial aid through the University may apply this aid to any program offered through the OIP. In addition, some scholarships are available through the Office of International Programs. In addition to spring and summer term programs, programs may also be offered fall term, winter term, and occasionally for the full academic year (which includes both fall and winter terms).

Students should contact the OIP, 1712 Chemistry Building or oip@umich.edu, for further information and specific program requirements as well as deadlines.

Integrating Study Abroad into the Curriculum (ISAC) courses

Each academic term, some LSA faculty develop international study components as part of existing Ann Arbor-based undergraduate courses. The study abroad component could be either a week-long trip abroad in the middle of the course (during spring break) or a two-week trip abroad after the conclusion of the term. Participation is not mandatory, but is encouraged. U-M students will earn one or two additional credits for participating in the study abroad component, depending on duration of trip. Participating faculty vary by term and normal course registration procedures apply. Winter.
