International Study Programs

Whether hiking Costa Rica's rain forests, learning French in Nice, studying Michaelangelo in Florence, or teaching HIV-AIDS prevention in Ghana, Utah Valley University International Study Programs assists you in finding study abroad and international service learning opportunities. International study programs expands your horizons and adds a never-to-be forgotten dimension to your education. They offer credit that can be applied to most majors, and also provide students the chance to experience a new culture firsthand and to see some of the major tourist sites of the world.  UVU's study abroad, service learning, and internship programs are generally offered during the spring and summer (May-August).

This page also contains information on deadlines and payments as well as different financial aid options for students wishing to study abroad. Students can visit the International Center (WB147) to obtain information in person.
