Program Types
Faculty-Led Programs
Faculty-Led programs are directed by U of A faculty who travel with students. These short-term programs offer U of A course credit. Students travel as a group, taking classes with Arkansas Faculty and
host university scholars while traveling to various sites.
These experiences are offered in the summer and intersession and typically last 2-8 weeks. A minimum 2.5 GPA is typical for most programs.
Rome Center
The Rome Center is the U of A’s only international residential study center, offering University of Arkansas Coursework taught by on-site faculty as well as faculty from Fayetteville.
Courses at the Rome Center engage the city as a classroom- with regular visits to local museums and landmarks complementing lectures and studio work.
Reciprocal Exchange Programs
Exchange programs are semester and year-length opportunities for students to ‘swap places’ with a student at one of our partner institutions. U of A students pay normal U of A tuition rates based on their residency and college/major but take classes at another school. Housing and living expenses are usually paid directly to the host university or service provider in country (refer to the program’s brochure for more details).
Students must hold a 3.0 GPA at the time of application and need to be able to demonstrate resiliency, as Exchange students are typically more independent than other study abroad programs.
Research, Internships & Independent Study
These opportunities are directed on an individual basis with guidance from each student’s academic department. Students should engage their academic advisors and professors to stay apprised of future placements. All students earning credit for work completed abroad must be registered with the Office of Study Abroad and enrolled in a course section with an international designation.
In addition to U of A directed programs, the Office of Study Abroad also works with several external partners who offer internships for academic credit.
