Study Away Programs by Geographic Location

Types of Programs

Roanoke College approved programs fall into three categories: Type A, Type B, and Type C.

Similarities:

Financial Aid can apply, credits transfer back to Roanoke College, and students pay Roanoke College tuition and fees.

Differences:

Type A programs include housing and meals benefits, Type B programs include housing but do not include meals, Type C programs include neither housing nor meals, which are billed by the program provider. Students who participate in a Type A program receive preference for travel scholarships and may be eligible for passport/visa financial support.

Roanoke College students are able to participate in up to three study away semesters, but only one semester of the three may be a Type C and either the second or third semester must be a Type A. Our partner ISEP (International Student Exchange Program) is our primary Type A provider; this link has more basic information about their Exchange programs.
