TAMU-CC Study Abroad Program Options

Faculty-Led Programs are study abroad programs led by a Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi faculty member. These programs are developed at the college or departmental level and often are directly related to students' majors, minors, or specific areas of interest or study. 

Because the programs are taught by TAMU-CC faculty, courses can be very specific to a major or academic area; however, all of the courses/credits earned on these programs should already fit into student's degree plans as either a requirement or elective. Faculty-led programs tend to be shorter in duration, often taking place over the summer months and can be a short as 10 days to as long as 6 weeks. Faculty-led programs will vary from year to year based on faculty interests and their areas of expertise. 

To apply for a Faculty-Led Program, please contact the faculty leader for that particular program. Students must be accepted by the faculty leader before applying with the Study Abroad Office and completing required paperwork.

Provider Programs, or Independent Study Program, are study abroad programs that are available through a third-party provider such as study abroad organizations or other U.S. institutions such as other A&M system schools. Since there are a lot of study abroad program providers, we encourage students to start with our recommended list FIRST before exploring other options. All students who apply for independent or provider programs are still required to submit application materials to the TAMU-CC Study Abroad Office in order to be conditionally approved for your study abroad program.  Each program has its own application process and deadline, so please plan accordingly. Students applying for provider programs should set-up an appointment with the Study Abroad Office before they start the application process for the provider.

Affiliate Programs are study abroad programs that are available to TAMU-CC students through a partnership with other U.S Universities, such as within the A&M University System.
