We invite you to be among about 1,000 university students who study abroad with AUIP annually in the South Pacific. All of our programs are offered as faculty-led programs through accrediting institutions, so you will need to apply directly through the partner university. Be sure to meet the specified deadlines!

Eligibility

  • Students must be 18 years old by the program’s start date.
  • GPA requirements can vary between universities, but most require a minimum of 2.5. Students applying with a GPA below the requirement may be considered on a case-by-case basis. For university-specific requirements and procedures, contact your home university.
  • For AUIP flagship sustainability programs, students from all majors are encouraged to apply, as the courses are interdisciplinary.
