FAQs for Boston University Students FAQs for Non-BU students
A. Boston University
International Programs makes it possible for college and university students
to realize their dream to study abroad. We operate language, liberal
arts, fine arts, science, engineering and internship programs in twenty-four
cities in sixteen countries on six continents, all fully approved by
Boston University. A. Students have many, many reasons for studying abroad. Some of these are: • Learning more about
another culture A. Yes. Language learning
is not the only reason to go abroad, and Boston University now offers
programs in Sydney, Australia; London and Oxford, England; Dublin, Ireland;
Auckland, New Zealand, and Los Angeles and Washington, DC, as well
as more specialized English language programs in Dresden, Germany, Geneva,
Switzerland, and Quito, Ecuador. A: Our deadlines come
three times a year: October 15 for spring programs, March 1 for summer
programs, and March 15 for fall or academic year programs.
It is possible to apply after the program deadline. We will accept applications
until the program is full. Please call our office for more information. A: Absolutely! Many
students spend consecutive semesters at their study abroad destination,
or combine two different sites for a year abroad. A: No. Students from
all majors study abroad. Some students, such as language, business, engineering,
and fine arts majors are able to find programs in their own majors,
and others take a semester to broaden their education or take advantage
of an international internship. A: Yes. In fact, returned
students are one of your best sources of information about all aspects
of the program, and many have volunteered to talk to students thinking
about going abroad. Call our office (617-353-9888) and we’ll give
you some contact information.
A: Generally, the cost
of study abroad is the same or less than a semester at Boston University,
and study abroad fees sometimes include extras like air fare or books.

please contact the Office of Financial Assistance for more information:

yes. You will receive an official Boston University transcript on completion
of your program which you can submit to your own college or university.

to determine whether the credits can be applied to your own program. A: No. In general,
about half of the students on our programs come from Boston University;
the others come from hundreds of schools across the United States and
abroad. A: Yes. We maintain up-to-date syllabi for courses at all of our sites. Most are available online, or you can call us at 617-353-9888, and tell us what you need. |
