Study Abroad
• RED: NCSU Programs
• BLUE: UNCEP Programs
• WHITE: ISEP Programs
Locations
• UNCEP Exchanges – Programs with an exchange between the University of North Carolina system and groups of overseas institutions. Room and meal costs are paid abroad and vary according to the location.
• ISEP Exchanges - Administered by the International Student Exchange Program. Students pay room and board prior to leaving NC State and receive room and board free at their host institution.
• Direct Exchanges - Based on agreements directly between NC State and our partner institutions. Room and meal costs are paid abroad and vary according to the location.
Exchange Semester or Year Programs
• NC State Direct Enrollment Programs – Students pay tuition and fees to the school abroad, rather than NC State tuition and fees. Credit received for the classes appears as transfer credit on your transcript.
• NC State Group Programs – Students pay a fixed program cost for these programs. Classes are NC State classes, not transfer credits.
Non-Exchange Semester or Year Programs
• Generally 4-6 weeks long• Go with a group of students led by a
Faculty Director from NC State

• Location– Climate, Region, Safety
• Language– If you study in a language, you must
complete level 202 in that language
