There is the list of the study abroad programs offered to our students by BSU.

Exchange Programs

Participants pay BSU tuition and fees for the term they will be abroad, in order to take courses at a foreign institution alongside students from the host country. Proficiency in the host language may be required, though there are many universities around the world in which the language of instruction is English. Students will earn BSU transfer credit for their work. Exchange programs are available for all majors, though some may be restricted to a specific department or school. Participants will be responsible for paying for flights, housing at the host school, books, food, travel, etc. in addition to BSU tuition tuition and fees.

Faculty-Led Study Tours

BSU Study Tours are short-term travel courses running for 2-3 weeks and are open to all BSU students, non-BSU students and BSU community members. Participants pay a program fee (different fees for BSU and non-BSU students) which typically includes course credit, accommodation, most meals, program related excursions, airfare, and other expenses. Primarily offered during the summer and winter sessions, each faculty directed program focuses on a certain academic discipline with students earning direct ASU course credit, and incorporates excursions and field trips to give students the opportunity to explore and learn about their host country.

Affiliate Study Abroad Provider Programs

Participants do not pay BSU tuition to participate in these programs offered by foreign universities or study abroad organizations that have an official agreement with BSU. Instead students pay (1) $200 registration fee to BSU, (2) affiliate program fee, which includes tuition and may include additional features like accommodation, meals, dedicated on-site staff, in-country orientations, airport pick-up, insurance, overnight excursions, and local field trips as part of a comprehensive program package. These programs are offered for semesters, summer sessions, winter break, and the academic year.  Students participating in partnership and affiliate programs may be taking courses with students from the host country, or only with other American or international students. Compare program details and costs carefully because not all programs include the same features.  Students receive transfer credit for all partnership and affiliate programs.
