What is a Major Advising Page?

Major Advising Pages (MAPs) feature education abroad programs that your department think are most appropriate for this discipline. Participating in a program featured on this MAP will allow you to complete coursework for your major/minor that has already been approved to transfer.

How do I use this MAP?

Use this MAP to identify programs of interest to you that offer coursework that might fulfill some of your degree requirements or compliment your studies at UK.

Ready to get Started?

As you evaluate the programs on this MAP, consider these important questions.

Do you want to complete courses abroad, or prefer completing a research project or internship?
Do you want to learn a language or improve your foreign language skills?
Would you like to study abroad for a semester, academic year, or a shorter amount of time like a summer or winter?
Do you want to study abroad with UK Students, or would you prefer to study alongside local students or other international students?
