General Information
International Career Center
The International Career Center, located in 273 HRCB
(international_career@byu.edu), guides students of any major
with their preparation for an international career. The ICC hosts
international career-oriented lectures and offers advisement,
employment and graduate school information, and networking
assistance.
International Study Programs
International Study Programs (ISP) are open to students from all
university majors. Students need not be formally admitted to BYU
to participate in International Study and BYU credit may be
transferred to their home institution.
Study Abroad: BYU’s traditional off-campus study programs.
In these programs students are able to further their general
education; pursue specialized courses in languages, the social
sciences, humanities, fine arts, and other fields; gain valuable
insights into their own country; and further international
understanding.
International Volunteers: A program similar to Study Abroad
but with a more significant component of service learning at an
international location and under the tutelage of faculty.
International Internships: Short-term, on-the-job apprentice
training abroad under the direction of a firm, government agency,
NGO, or other such institution.
Field Studies: A research experience abroad for small numbers
of students directed by faculty, who generally do not accompany
the students.
For futher information, see the Office of International Study
Programs in the David M. Kennedy Center, 280 HRCB.
