Where Can I Go?

Northeast State is a member of the Tennessee Consortium for International Studies (TnCIS), Through TnCIS, Northeast State students can participate in 3 or 4-5 week long study abroad courses for college credit. All programs are offered after the spring graduation. Courses and locations vary each semester.

How Much Does it Cost?

Costs for study abroad courses are established and published on the TnCIS website each fall. Please visit this website for more information regarding costs. Students accepted to TnCIS programs register and pay the program fee at Northeast State. This allows students to receive course credit directly from Northeast State and have it appear on their transcripts.

What are the application and payment deadlines?

What course should I consider taking?

Students are encouraged to consult with their Academic Advisor about the benefits and feasibility of having study abroad as part of their Northeast State Program of Study.

Is financial aid available? What about scholarships?
