Non-ASU Students

While most ASU study abroad programs are available only to degree-seeking ASU students, some programs may be available to non-ASU students. Any non-ASU student interested in participating in an ASU study abroad program should contact an International Coordinator in the Study Abroad Office to discuss available options.
