Semester Programs | University of Portland

Semester Programs

Semester study abroad programs provide a range of courses to choose from and students earn a full courseload of typically fifteen UP credits. The program cost includes tuition and international insurance. Semester study abroad program cost is similar to UP on-campus tuition cost, and financial aid and scholarships apply, except for certain IES Abroad programs (more information below). Program cost may include housing and meals (either provided by a host family, meal plan, or a meal stipend provided to the student).
