Non-GT Study Abroad

If the GT international options do not meet your specific needs, you may need to find your own program- which is considered a Non-GT Program. You must have the approval of your Graduate Program to transfer any credit back toward your degree.

International Academic Projects

Participants in International Academic Projects are engaged in academic or research work that will be partially or wholly completed outside of the United States. This might mean going to a foreign university with your Faculty Advisor to conduct research, doing an independent study project, performing research in the lab of a faculty colleague abroad, etc. Talk to your Faculty Advisor about contacts and ideas.
