University Information
BYU International Study Programs (ISP) offers varied types of experiences abroad in an effort to meet the diverse needs and goals of students. We offer four main types of programs:
• Study Abroad: A group of students live together and are led by on-site BYU faculty.
• International Internship: This is an independent, work-oriented experience. (BYU students only.)
• Direct Enrollment (Student Exchange): A student enrolls at a contracted university overseas while paying only BYU tuition. (BYU students only.)
• Field School: This is a hands-on research-based cohort experience abroad.

"I learned how to connect with other cultures (spend time with them). I learned how to be flexible with cultural differences, I learned to love a country I knew little about, I learned to accept new things into my opinions and the way I think. It was VERY worthwhile. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I could!"

A student Brigham Young University
"I learned about a new culture and how to adjust and adapt to a new way of life. It was definitely worth while and I loved it.

A student Brigham Young University
"I learned so much from this study abroad. I didn't think it was worth it because it costs so much money to travel abroad. But I learned more about myself and about other cultures than I ever have. The experience became a foundation for where I want the rest of my life to go. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had and..."
