FAU Exchange Programs
Exchange Programs are a great way to study abroad. They work by swapping students from one institution to the partner institution. FAU students pay FAU tuition and are registered at FAU but study overseas at the Exchange Program school.
FAU students wishing to participate in an exchange program need to be nominated by the Office of International Programs. It is in the best interest of FAU students to apply early as space is limited. Non-FAU students are eligible to apply on a space permitted basis.
To qualify for nomination students must submit a completed FAU study abroad application to the Office of International Programs, SU 106. After submitting an application you will be contacted to set-up an advising appointment.
