Other study abroad opportunities

Students can choose to participate in a non-FIU or outside study abroad program. These third-party programs are not offered by FIU. It could mean directly enrolling in a foreign institution, participating in a program through a different U.S. university, or participating in a 3rd party provider program. If you are interested in participating in a third-party program, you must apply through the Office of Study Abroad to have your program reviewed for approval to accept/apply your credits at FIU.
