TWO WORLDS UNITED
academic programs that give students the
opportunity to study in a foreign country.
Student exchange programs are offered in
more than 45 countries of the world.
Most TWU students who participate in exchange
programs do so during their junior year
of college or during the summer between
their sophomore and junior years. Two Worlds
United exchange programs are also available
for high school students, graduate students,
and adult students.
Students who participate in exchange programs
often gain command of a foreign language
and expand their understanding of other
cultures. For many Two Worlds United students,
an exchange program provides their first
experience with independent living. Two
Worlds United Students who participate in
exchange programs generally stay in dormitories
or in the homes of host families while in
the foreign country. Students who stay in
homes have the added benefit of experiencing
the day-to-day activities of a host family
while pursuing their studies.
Most American schools accept academic credit
for student exchange participation. Many
offer their own study-abroad programs, often
with courses taught by regular members of
the institution’s faculty. Two Worlds United
students can also find programs through
schools located in foreign countries. These
institutions are structured like schools
in the United States and generally offer
classes in English. Some foreign schools
also offer special courses for Two Worlds
United students that focus on the language,
history, and culture of the host country.
Credit for these courses can sometimes be
difficult to transfer to a student’s home
college or university.
