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

Earning Northeastern Credit

Please refer to the "Course equivalents" page under "Step 2" when determing transfer credits.

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.

*Exceptions made for Beijing, Grenoble, Tokyo, & Cambridge programs. Please contact our office for further information.

Registration & Cost

Students are placed in division V and registered by country while abroad. Because full-time student status is maintained, students will remain eligible for financial aid. The cost of a semester abroad is charged to the NU student account prior to departure. Please refer to the program fact sheets for more information.
