We encourage students to take courses, complete internships, or conduct research abroad for credit that will count toward their degree. Learning Abroad also supports students completing co-curricular learning experiences abroad including conferences, symposia, service learning, and study tours.

UH students cannot participate in non-affiliated programs for UH credit, and students cannot use UH or Federal Financial Aid toward the payment of a non-affiliated program abroad. Thus, students are discouraged from participating in non-affiliated Learning Abroad programs.
