<p>I know this depends on each school’s policy. I wondered in general though, if a school only has an exchange program in one major and a student who has another major wants to go to that school–can they go direct entry?</p>
<p>In many cases, yes.</p>
<p>Universities abroad, particularly in Europe, offer:</p>
<ol>
<li>language and culture classes for foreigners (to learn the language of the host country)</li>
<li>guest student programs - where a US student (for example) can take regular classes at the university</li>
<li>language classes + elective/regular classes</li>
</ol>
<p>These programs run independently of US study abroad programs.</p>
<p>However, many US universities send their own study abroad students to these “already made” programs for foreign students.</p>
<p>So, direct enrollment is possible.</p>
<p>Different universities abroad have different policies for visiting students, so you’d have to check look at each program.</p>
<p>US universities lose money if their students enroll directly, so expect some administrative resistence.</p>

<p>Yes that is the part I was thinking. I know the tuition at a school abroad that I had in mind and it is way cheaper than the school my son is at.</p>
