TU has several reciprocal exchange agreements with partner universities around the world. The nature of a reciprocal exchange program allows you to remain enrolled at TU while studying at one of our partner universities abroad at the same time TU receives students from a partner university on our campus. The CGE maintains a balance of students ‘exchanged’ over a period of time. These programs allow you to attend courses with local students at the host university and fully integrate into the host country. Participation on an exchange program will require you to be more independent as a student as support services as you are accustomed to here in the U.S. may be limited at the host university. While on an exchange program, you are expected to be an ambassador and represent the University of Tulsa to further promote the exchange collaboration between the two universities.
Affiliated Study Abroad Programs
The University of Tulsa currently has 10 affiliate program partners which facilitate many programs abroad for university students. The types of programs offered through our affiliations allow students many diverse options in study abroad. In addition to a traditional classroom setting at a host university or program abroad, a number of affiliate programs offer internships, field based experiences, and experiential learning. The diversity of these programs allows students various options for a program abroad as well. For students who may require more support whilet abroad, there are programs designed such that you take classes with other American students in a more structured environment. For a student who has never traveled abroad and is somewhat uncertain about his/her ability to be successful, this option may be suitable. For students who are more independent and/or have advanced language skills and previously traveled abroad, there are affiliate programs designed to fully immerse you in the host country by directly enrolling in courses with local students.
