Finding the Right Program or Location for You
Study abroad is possible for ALL majors, including pre-professional ones like engineering, mass communications, and business. Through the LSU Abroad Portal, students can now narrow down their choices by location and/or major.
How to Use the LSU Abroad Portal
List All Programs
This approach displays all programs/exchanges, including summer/intersession programs, international exchanges, and domestic exchanges. This list may be helpful to browse, but be warned: LSU offers many programs, and they are all on this list!
If you'd rather search for a particular program type, you can choose from the list below:
- Summer and Intersession Programs
- International Exchange Partners
- Domestic Exchange Partners through NSE
- LSU Course Field Trips/Excursions (short trips associated with a particular on-campus class)
Simple Search
Using the Simple Search feature of the LSU Abroad Portal, you can search by the following parameters:
- Program name
- Term of program/exchange
- City
- Country
- Region
For example, you can search for all programs in Europe during the spring semester.
Advanced Search
The Advanced Search allows you to search by the following additional parameters:
- APA program type (summer/intersession programs, international exchanges, domestic exchanges, etc.)
- Subjects offered
- APA advisor
- Language of instruction
- US state (for domestic programs only)
- NSE tuition plan(s) (for NSE programs only)
- International exchange type (for international exchanges only)
The true power of the Advanced Search comes from mixing and matching parameters to best suit your needs. For example, you can find a list of the international exchange partners accepting fall semester exchanges with engineering classes taught in English in Asia with a couple clicks of the mouse. Finding the right program has never been easier.
Map Search
The Map Search allows you to narrow down your choices by clicking on a map. Start by picking a continent. Pick a country, and all of the programs in that country will appear on the map. The locations/programs will also appear in a text box with links to the program pages.
For example, you can find the APA exchange partner in Ecuador by clicking on South America and then Ecuador.
