The University of Mississippi has approved partner programs in which students may participate. These partner programs allow students to study at sites which may not be available through exchanges. Some also offer unique programs that are tailored to particular academic or career interests. Ole Miss students who study on approved partner programs remain enrolled as University of Mississippi students while abroad and receive UM credit. They are billed through their University of Mississippi Bursar Account, though the program price is not set at the cost of UM tuition. The cost of a partner program usually runs between $11,000 and $16,000 for a semester. Federal and state aid, as well as some University of Mississippi scholarships, can help defray this cost.
The following partners offer programs in many countries throughout the world. Most of their programs are approved for UM student who would like to study abroad for a semester. There is an additional fee applied to all partner programs.
