<p>According to UT’s website they have study abroad options offered by “affiliated programs” that the credits guaranteed to transfer. When I tried to call around for info there was none available. I was given the run around by the study abroad office because they can only advise on UT affiliated programs. Frankly, UTs programs are expensive and I am trying to somehow fit 3 spanish courses into one summer.
If anyone has travelled abroad with a program affiliated with UT for spanish credits please let me know the name of the program so I can look into it!

<p>MOST programs are affiliate programs and require you to pay a “program fee” to some third party outside of UT. Because of the program fees, which can be very expensive because they often include housing arrangements, on-site support, meals, extracurricular activities, etc., affiliated programs are much more expensive than “exchange” programs, which involve you going to the country, enrolling directly in the university, finding your own housing and essentially fending for yourself with none of the bells and whistles of a structured program.</p>
<p>So for example, according to the Study Abroad website, a fall semester in Buenos Aires with an affiliated program is about $22,000, which includes an $11,000 program fee plus housing plus plane tickets plus general living expenses plus etc. By contrast, a direct exchange to C</p>
