Exchange programs generally offer students the opportunity to pursue courses for academic credit within their degree program. Exchange programs are generally not meant for language or culture study. Meals may be provided either by a cafeteria, student restaurants or by the host family. The recommended year to spend abroad is junior year, but some programs will allow sophomores to participate.
All programs require a faculty letter of recommendation.
Some programs will require host country language skills. Participants in exchange programs pay applicable ERAU tuition and registration fees. Room and board is usually paid in the host country. ERAU tuition waivers and scholarships can be applied to exchange programs.
