International Study
For many years, University of Jamestown students have pursued academic programs at approved foreign universities during summer terms, Fall or Spring semesters, or entire academic years. The courses are selected by the student with the University’s approval, and resulting credits are accepted toward a degree and major requirements.
The University of Jamestown is a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), one of the largest student exchange organizations in the world. Students attending an ISEP member institution have access to more than 150 study sites in Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Oceania, South Pacific, and the United Kingdom for a full academic year, a semester, or a summer program.
The ISEP program provides the opportunity to become immersed in a foreign culture, earn credit towards a degree at the University of Jamestown, make friends in a host country, and meet students from all over the world. Students involved in the ISEP exchange program pay the same tuition, room and board costs that they would pay at the University of Jamestown. Federal and most other forms of financial aid can be applied toward participation in ISEP.
