Current Study Abroad Programs

Students have the ability to choose from studying with one of our International Partner Universities, or with our affiliate KEI. KEI offers students the opportunity to transfer financial aid and scholarship packages to their study abroad experience. Students are also eligible for an affiliate discount on KEI semester programs. Students may incorporate language learning into their study abroad experience. Cultural immersion is an excellent way to acquire language skills. Students may also choose to study at an English-language university, found in many countries even where English is not the official language. The situation varies greatly with each student and each program.

Programs

Fairmont State University offers experiences in the following categories of international study travel:

  • A week-long trip embedded in an Fairmont State course
  • A summer trip with Fairmont State faculty
  • A semester, year, or summer abroad at a KEI affiliate program site
  • A semester, year, or summer abroad with a program administered by a college or university in West Virginia (WVU, West Liberty, WVSU, etc.)
  • A semester, year, or summer abroad with a third party administrator (see listings online). Students who choose this option may be unable to transfer financial aid and scholarships to use during their time away. They will need to fill out paperwork in advance with the Office of International Study to determine whether credits will transfer.
