Overview
Affiliated Provider Programs are offered through any one of our affiliated third-party providers (companies) that specialize in study abroad programming. Students will earn transfer credit. Programs are available in many different locations across the world and tend to be at least a semester in length, however many do have shorter summer options. They also offer internships and volunteer experiences.
To learn more about affiliated provider programs, review more information on types of programs.
Highlights
- Apply your full OHIO financial aid and scholarships package during eligible terms

Who are our Affiliates?
- International Studies Abroad (ISA) by WorldStrides*
- The Education Abroad Network (TEAN) by WorldStrides*
- American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS)
- Academic Programs International (API)
- Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA)
- Council on International educational Exchange (CIEE)

- Ohio International Consortium (OIC) - The OIC is a partnership with other public universities in OHIO, like Kent State University or Miami University. This partnership allows for OHIO students to attend study abroad programs offered by those institutions.

WorldStrides has an advisor on campus in the OHIO Office of Global Opportunities to advise on ISA and TEAN study abroad (semester and summer options!), internship, and service learning programs.
Why go on an Affiliated Provider Program?
There are many different reasons students choose to attend an Affiliated Provider Program, including:
- More location options! Affiliated providers offer thousands of options, many in locations not available through OHIO Credit or Exchange programs
- Ability to study abroad with a cohort of students from across the U.S., not just Ohio University. This includes traveling with friends/relatives who may attend a college in another state/location.
- Programs can offer multiple destinations to maximize global travels!
- Variety of courses. Participants can take a combination of courses that may fulfill different requirements on their DARS (i.e. you can take a business and language course together)
- Some options may be more affordable than a semester on campus.
How do I apply?
Prior to applying directly to the program through an affiliate, the Office of Global Opportunities recommends that all students complete mandatory OHIO paperwork for transfer credit programs. This paperwork is called the Global Experiences Transfer Credit Approval Process and is completed by starting a "Non-OHIO Program" application in the OGO Student Portal. By completing the OHIO process first, students will have a better sense of how the program will affect their progress towards degree completion and their financial aid.
Please review the suggested application steps on the types of programs - affiliated provider program page.
