Please Scroll Down for Direct Links to Program Pages.
SUMMARY OF USAC
USAC is a study abroad consortium based out of the University of Nevada at Reno. They offer programs in 23 different countries. Loyola students can receive credit for the USAC courses. The USAC program offers cost-friendly programs for students in 20 different countries in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Latin America. Students may take courses taught in English or opt to take classes in a foreign language. They have two different types of programs: Specialty and Partnership. Specialty programs, coordinated directly by USAC, are specifically geared towards American students. Partnership programs, coordinated with a foreign university, allow you to enroll directly in classes there.
