Study Abroad

Studying abroad is a wonderful experience that allows eligible students the opportunity to explore education and cultures outside the walls of UNC Charlotte. The Office of Education Abroad (OEA) facilitates programs offered to UNC Charlotte students.

Students with disabilities are encouraged to study abroad!

The offices of Disability Services and Education Abroad work together to address the accommodation needs of students with documented disabilities.

Please note that physical accessibility along with the availability of resources and accommodations will vary depending upon the country and the institution. The accommodations you receive through Disability Services at UNC Charlotte may not be offered in other countries.

The advisors in Education Abroad can help you decide which destination and program would be the best match for you based upon your needs and interests.

Students interested in studying abroad should begin the planning process at least a year in advance.

When planning to study abroad, registered students are advised to meet with a DS counselor early on in the process to discuss specific accommodations.

Students not registered with the Office of Disability Services will need to submit documentation in order to determine eligibility for academic accommodations.
