This program provides opportunities for students at ERAU to receive academic credit for courses taken at an overseas institution, and practical training in a foreign setting for a summer, semester, or academic year. The recommended period for a GE3 exchange is the Junior Year. To be eligible, a student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and a demonstrated ability in the appropriate language equivalent to at least three years of high school study. However, a growing number of programs are being offered in English.
Students pay tuition and fees to ERAU prior to departure.
Housing, meals, health insurance, airfare, textbooks, and personal spending are the responsibility of the students. For students unable to demonstrate fluency in the language of instruction, intensive summer language instruction in Europe is required, at additional cost. GE3 application includes an essay in the language of the host country, one faculty recommendation, demonstration of ability to fulfill host institution language requirements, and a transcript.
