Partner Programs
Study abroad programs implemented by other institutions/organizations during the academic year and approved by Northwestern. Students receive some support and services from GLO, but pre-departure guidance, course enrollment, and on-site support come from the partner organization, not Northwestern. Students receive transfer credits.
All partner programs have been vetted and approved by the faculty-led University Study Abroad Committee (USAC) and the Office of Global Safety and Security (OGSS) and are deemed to meet Northwestern standards in terms of academic quality, housing, cultural immersion, and student support services.
Key Features
- Northwestern financial aid can be used
- Wide variety of program types and locations
- On-site services provided by partner staff
