Education Abroad Programs

    

UNA Bilateral Exchanges are currently on hold. We will update this page as things change. Please refer to our past partnerships for inspiration!
Through Bilateral Exchange Programs (BEP) UNA students will be able to participate in education abroad opportunities for a semester or academic year. Students are able to take their education into the classroom of another country!
 

Courses

Bachelor and master level students are welcome to participate. Through MEP students are able to take preapproved classes at any MEP associated institution from around the world and receive UNA credit! Many classes are taught in English.
 

Housing

The housing options can vary, depending on the university the student chooses to study at. The typical options do include:
  • Dormitory
  • Living with a host family
  • Shared housing
  • Apartment
Just like at UNA students are randomly assigned a roommate unless they specify otherwise and could live with a US student, another international student, or a domestic student from the host country.
 

Expenses

Students will pay normal tuition and fees for the course associated with the Education Abroad Experience. Students are 100% responsible for:
  • Passport ($145)
  • Student Visa ($100 - $200)
  • iNext Health insurance ($48)
  • Airfare
  • Meals - students can expect this to cost relatively the same amount as a UNA Meal Plan
  • Room and Board – students can also expect to pay approximately the same amount as they would for on-campus housing at UNA
  • In country transportation – Public transportation is much cheaper abroad students have options of trains, buses, taxis, etc. 
  • Souvenirs
Costs out of pocket are typically in the $3000+ range depending on program destination and program length.
