Ready to take the reins on your study abroad experience? There's also the option to enroll directly in a host institution and participate in an exchange program. This means:

  • You will be directly enrolled in your host university abroad and the courses you take will be from the host institution's own course catalog
  • The semester will follow the host institution's academic calendar and the dates and semester lengths may differ from the academic calendar you're used to here at Suffolk

As a directly enrolled student, you can:

  • Take advantage of your host institution's benefits, support, and other services they may offer
  • Have the opportunity to have full language and cultural immersion while you study abroad—though many institutions will still offer courses in English if you choose
  • Plan your own housing, travel, excursions, and more to build the study abroad experience that suits you best
