Education Abroad Frequently Asked Questions
 

Do I have to speak the language of the country I want to go to?

We have many opportunities in non-English speaking countries that not only offer classes in English, but also provide extensive language study of a native language. Fluency in the language spoken in the host country may be required for certain programs.

How can I pay for this? Are there any scholarships available?

Students who are currently receiving scholarships, grants, and/or financial aid can apply this money to their education abroad program. You may also apply for other supplemental loans that are available. Please see information on WSU Financial Aid at:

http://www.wright.edu/finaid

Also, please notice that all Wright State students participating in education abroad programs are required to pay a non-refundable $50.00 application fee. Checks should be payable to Wright State University and should be hand in together with application.

Can I get credit for my education/exchange abroad?

Normally, courses taken abroad will have an equivalent at WSU. See your academic advisor before choosing your courses and he or she will endorse the list of courses you will take abroad.

To whom do I pay tuition?

Students who are going on a USAC Program pay USAC and host universities fees. Students going on the Ambassador and  Exchange Programs pay WSU tuition.

Again, please notice that all Wright State students participating in education abroad programs are required to pay a non-refundable $50.00 application fee. Checks should be payable to Wright State University and should be handed in together with the application.

Am I registered at WSU or at the host university?

All education abroad students are registered with Wright State University. The UCIE office will register students participating in exchange and USAC Programs. Students participating in Ambassador Programs will be responsible for the registration of the program course

What kind of accommodations are available for education abroad students?

Students participating in USAC and Exchange Programs can live in residence halls, apartments, or with host families. Students participating in Ambassador Programs will be accommodated in local hotels or hostels.
