Graduate exchange options are handled on a case-by-case basis due to the increased level of rules and regulations in graduate programs abroad. Students who wish to spend a semester abroad on exchange during their master’s program at AUC will need to map their master’s degree completion timeline and review their AUC degree audit.
Graduate Program Process
1. Students must complete AUC's graduate exchange application and submit the required documents on/before the deadline of April 14, 2021 at 2 pm.
Required documents (two copies each):
- Unofficial university transcript (print out from Banner Self-Service)
- Updated resume
- Personal statement
2. The Office of International Programs and Services (IPSO) shares applicants' information with the respective graduate program directors.
3. Graduate program directors nominate students and inform IPSO of the nominees eligible for exchange opportunities.
4. IPSO and the Office of Graduate Students Services and Fellowships will hold interviews for the nominated graduate students.
5. IPSO will send an acceptance email to selected candidates.
6. The selected candidates will be nominated to partner universities by the IPSO.*
