The rise in student interest in studying abroad is reflected in our growing numbers of applicants and increased student traffic. This requires that program details are easily accessible to all those responsible for advising our students. This website will give you access to information about our programs, cost, and program dates. If you can't find what your looking for, please contact us at 617-373-5276 or studyabroad@neu.edu
If you would like an OISP staff member to make a brief presentation in your classroom or talk to your staff about our programs, please contact our office at studyabroad@neu.edu.
Please include possible dates, time and room location in your email.
Students receive NU credit for all courses taken abroad. They are awarded 4 NU credits per course* regardless of the host institutions credit system. This means that NU course numbers are posted to the transcript, along with the grade received on the foreign transcript. Students must determine the NU equivalent courses with the help of their advisor using a Petition for Course Substitution.
The following is a list of course equivalents that have already been approved by faculty. Students should confirm the NU equvialent on this spreadsheet with an advisor if trying to satisfy a major/minor requirement. This spreadsheet changes on a regular basis as more equivalents are determined. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office.
*Exceptions made for Beijing, Tokyo, & Cambridge programs. Please contact our office for further information.
