Semester Exchanges
Students participating in individual experiences through a provider or exchange partner, such as semester exchanges, are permitted to go as long as the host university or partner has confirmed that it is operational, and with the understanding that they do so at their own risk. Any financial loss incurred because of travel or health issues related to COVID-19 will not be reimbursed by Education Abroad or Texas A&M University.
For more information regarding COVID-19 and the status of education abroad programs, please refer to the Education Abroad COVID-19 Updates website.

The following exchanges are open to all students at Texas A&M University. However, business courses may not be available or very limited. As such, these exchanges may be a better option for students seeking courses abroad for a minor program, especially in language.
