Study Away Programs

Study Away programs are domestically run, course-bearing, faculty-led programs for students. These programs take place out-of-state and are 5+ nights in length. They generally take place over summer, spring, or winter breaks. Programs change year to year, going to new locations and focusing on different areas of study. Programs for the academic year will be announced in October. 

Faculty members wanting to propose a study away program should visit the Faculty/Staff Propose a Program page.

Additional Information 

• After applying, a $300 down payment will be charged to the applicant's SUU account. That same $300 will then be deducted from the total program price. 

  • Non-student participants (such as spouses) will be charged an additional $200 non-student administrative fee. 
• Tuition for courses registered for as part of program involvement will be charged separately from the study away program fee. Please see the tuition rates to calculate what that amount will be. 

• After being accepted into a program, travelers will be emailed information about how to find and submit all pre-departure documents such as travel authorizations and emergency contact forms.

• Refund Policy: After the application deadline has passed and a student has been accepted into their program, the remainder of the program fee will be charged to their SUU account. Should a student choose to withdraw from their program after this point, the application fee and any portion of the program fee that has already been spent on their behalf (at the time of their withdrawal) will remain charged to their SUU account.
