You Earn Credits While Abroad

Students who are part of a study abroad/exchange program are enrolled in:

  • Fall/Spring semesters: 15 undergraduate or 9 graduate credit hours
  • Summer semester: 6 undergraduate or 3 graduate credit hours 

Study Abroad Aid Changes for Out-of-State Students

  • Non-Missouri residents participating in a study abroad pay resident tuition fees for the semester(s) they are abroad.
  • Most types of financial aid can be used to pay for study abroad.
  • Some students may receive additional aid for study abroad. 

If you normally receive scholarships for out-of-state tuition, these scholarship(s) will not apply during your semester or year abroad since all students (out of state or in-state) will be billed in-state tuition while studying abroad.
