How to Apply

Over 130 programs are administered or co-sponsored by Education Abroad. Applications for these programs are submitted online. Applications are typically submitted the semester before you plan to be abroad. See our deadlines page for details. Review our Application Instructions for additional information about this process.

Over 250 additional programs are administered by other IU units. Application instructions and procedures will vary for these programs. Information and guidance can be obtained through the contact identified in program information on the Big List.

Thousands of other program opportunities are administered by institutions and organizations based in the U.S. or abroad. Students who choose to participate in a Non-IU program will apply directly to the program provider. Students also need to complete paperwork with IU to facilitate financial aid, credit transfer, and to remain an active IU student while abroad. Details of these steps are available on our Non-IU Procedures page.
