Does your student want to study in English?

At over 100 universities worldwide, and even in places where the native language is not English, there are university programs taught in English. Students can select Short-Term Summer options or longer Semester/Academic year time periods.

Does your student want to build language skills or study major/minor course work in another language?

Sometimes students struggle with language acquisition if they do not have the opportunity to spend time immersed in the language and culture of another country. Many USU Faculty-Led Programs during summer months often provide opportunities for students to have these experiences and build their language skills. Opportunities also exist for the beginning to advanced language student for other short-term, semester, or academic year programs of study in a second language.
