Third-Party Providers

 


Third-party providers are independent organizations that facilitate or administer study abroad programs. They often act as intermediaries by assisting program participants with logistics like course registration and housing arrangements. 

All FAU students studying abroad, regardless of program type, must complete an FAU Education Abroad Application. Click here for information on FAU Education Abroad Appointments & Advising!
