Global Exchanges
Explore a new culture and experience a new way of life. Become an exchange student! UHCL
students can spend a semester or a year immersed in another culture as they live and
study at one of our partner institutions. This is also an excellent opportunity to
diversify the UHCL campus as we welcome students from our exchange partners for a
semester or full academic year.
The Global Exchange Program enables select UHCL students to study at a variety of
institutions while earning UHCL credit and being immersed in the culture of some of
the world's most exciting cities.
Students who are approved to enroll in the UHCL exchange pay UHCL tuition, which allows
you to maintain your financial aid package, including grants and scholarships (unique
partner fees may be required). You may also apply for additional financial aid (in
the form of loans) for study abroad.
Visit
ea.uhcl.edu
to explore exchange opportunities or contact

UHCL's approach to education abroad allows you to choose the program that works best
for you, and can help to seamlessly connect your program to your academic pursuits
here on campus.  Take a moment to explore the program options and how to choose one
that meets your needs and expectations. Then, follow the application guidelines of
the program you select, and get started on your way to an incredible adventure!
