The choice of study abroad programs at the University of Tennessee is wide and varied. Engineering students should start their search with the UT Programs Abroad office. Answering some of these fundamental questions will help you get started.

Most engineering students who study abroad collect their general education electives so they can maximize the number of programs they are eligible for, as relatively few programs offer significant technical content that would count towards their engineering degree. Taking foreign language courses in the country where that language is spoken is another popular choice.

One way of not significantly altering degree progression is to sign up for a UT faculty-directed program. These are short-term programs, usually mini-term or first term summer school, offering one or two courses taught abroad by a UT faculty member.
