Study Abroad Program

Visit: Study Abroad International Programs Alamo Colleges District Links to an external site.

Students may select one of many programs that are available, such as Faculty-Led, Exchange, or Affiliate Program. Programs may be two weeks up to a year-long. All programs are academic programs; students will receive academic credit upon successful completion of courses taken while abroad.

The best study abroad program is the one that works with your career goals and academic schedule and that provides you academic credit which can be applied toward your degree plan.

Study abroad programs are open to any Alamo Community Colleges District students who desires to participate. Any student applying for a study abroad program must:

Be enrolled in an Alamo Community Colleges District degree program at the time of application
Have a minimum GPA of 2.0 for faculty led programs or 2.5 for Direct Exchange or Affiliate programs
Have completed at least 12 academic credit hours before the intended departure date
Meet the academic requirements and prerequisites of the course(s) for which the student plans to enroll while abroad
Provide one Faculty Recommendation for Faculty-Led programs and three (two faculty and one personal) recommendation letters for Exchange and Affiliate programs
Provide a completed and approved Disciplinary Verification form from home college
Be 18 years or older by the time of travel to participate in any study abroad program
A passport is required to travel abroad but, not required to apply. You may find additional passport information at: US Passports Links to an external site.

All application requirements must be met and maintained throughout the application process and prior to departure. Failure to meet or maintain the application requirements may result in an unapproved or rescinded application approval. Individuals who do not meet the application requirements will not be permitted to participate in a study abroad program. Students who are denied admission to a program may appeal the application decision in writing within two weeks of denial notification. Appeals should be submitted directly to the Office of International Programs.

All students under the age of 18 years old prior to travel dates, who meet all other requirements and wish to study abroad, will be reviewed independently on a case-by-case basis by the Legal and Enterprise Risk Management Departments.
