Independent Study Abroad
The Office of International Programs (OIP) coordinates and facilitates opportunities for our students to experience independent study abroad. Students need to register with the Study Abroad office; select from many opportunities and experiences which meet their academic goals; meet with the Admissions Office to determine transferability of such courses to SFA; participate in a pre-departure orientation; and upon return, provide debriefing on experiences, accomplishments and perception of the study abroad activity.
Students may opt for a single semester or more depending on the number of credits desired and the availability of appropriate courses. Choose from affiliated programs between SFA and universities abroad or from programs offered by other academic institutions. Please contact Inés Maxit, Study Abroad Coordinator, to make an appointment to discuss your study abroad options. You can reach her at (936) 468-2961 or send an email to maxitie@sfasu.edu
