Global Programs

Faculty-Led Programs

In a faculty-led program, a group of UGA Engineering students travels to an international location to attend courses taught by UGA Engineering faculty. These programs are usually held during the summer and last between two to six weeks. Current faculty-led programs include:

Exchange Programs

In the exchange program, students study at an international partner university. These programs are available for an academic semester or academic year. UGA students pay UGA tuition/fees at an in-state rate and living costs abroad. Students can receive transfer credit for courses taken abroad through the transfer credit approval process. Current exchange partners include:

Independent Experiences Abroad

Internships are programs abroad that provide students with temporary on-the-job training in a certain industry. Students typically complete these programs for academic credit and, in some cases, may be paid for their work. Fieldwork, Independent Study or Research involves quantitative and/or qualitative research and instructional hours that, while supervised and initiated by an instructor, feature independent work and self-direction outside of a laboratory, library, or classroom setting.

Engineering Dual Degree Programs

At the University of Georgia, you have the unique opportunity to distinguish yourself by earning a degree that is far more than the sum of its parts. Go beyond the beaten path with a dual degree in German and Engineering. UGA’s Dual Degree Programs in German allows students to pursue a bachelor’s degree in German and a bachelor’s degree in an Engineering discipline concurrently and receive two separate diplomas in two distinct fields of study. Graduates of the program will possess not only engineering expertise but valuable international experience and a meaningful inter-cultural interaction. As such, they will be uniquely qualified to succeed in their chosen careers whether at home or abroad.
