Students should be prepared to show course materials to any department in which they would like to earn major or minor credit, for final course approval, at the conclusion of the program. Please note that each program has different academic strengths, and students should review the course offerings to find the most appropriate match with their own academic goals.

- Programs for Americans taught in English or Other Languages
We offer a number of programs that provide a limited selection of area studies courses that are taught exclusively for Americans. Generally one language class is required for programs that operate in a country where English is not the native language. Some of the programs offer classes only in the host country’s language. Coursework taken on the programs would fulfill general education, elective, and possibly major or minor requirements.

II. Other IU Programs
Additional programs are coordinated by IU departments, schools or campuses.
In all cases information about the programs (e.g. program details, credit awarded, financial aid, eligibility, deadlines, costs, application instructions, etc.) must be sought from the sponsoring unit.
See the Big List for more information.
III. Affiliated Study Abroad Programs
IU does not offer programs in every location and language, so students may choose to search from
among the list of affiliated programs
and AESOP programs that are administered by other institutions. These programs are endorsed by our office based on the reputation of the organizing agencies or institutions, the quality of the programs and their academic standards. Students earn transfer credit on these programs and the use of financial aid is subject to approval.
As a general rule, the mainstreamed programs are most likely to include courses that fulfill major requirements. Offerings in the programs designed exclusively for Americans are limited, and students should review the courses that are available and then consult Overseas Study for guidance.
IV. Other Non-IU Options
Some students' interests might not be accommodated by the options given above. There are hundreds of program available,
and they can consult non-IU program instructions to get information on locating a program and procedures to follow.
