Transfer Credit Study Abroad Programs
Transfer Credit Study Abroad Programs encompass many possible
opportunities, such as applying directly to an international
university, applying through a sponsoring U.S. university
or institute,
or applying through a program provider.
Students who participate in this type of
international program will receive academic
credit for their completed coursework and
transfer it back to Texas A&M.
Is a Transfer Credit Study Abroad Program right for you?
Transfer Credit Study Abroad Programs open up a wealth of opportunities and make
travel to virtually any country around the globe an option. If
any of the below options fit you, a transfer
credit program may be
right for you if:

yourself

culture

opportunity coupled with a study abroad
