The University of Mississippi has approved affiliate programs in which students may participate. These programs allow students to study at sites which may not be available through exchanges. Some also offer unique programs that are tailored to particular academic or career interests. Ole Miss students who study on approved programs remain enrolled as University of Mississippi students while abroad and receive UM credit. They are billed through their University of Mississippi Bursar Account, though the program price is not set at the cost of UM tuition. The cost of an affiliate program usually runs between $11,000 and $16,000 for a semester. Federal and state aid, as well as some University of Mississippi scholarships, can help defray this cost.
The following programs have been chosen specifically because they fall in line with the academic requirements of UM students. Because of our close relationship with the staff of these organizations, we prefer their programs in particular locations or for particular majors.
| Program | Location | Language of Instruction | Dates | Cost |

Through our short-term programs you can spend summer or winter abroad. We offer programs at long as 6 weeks and as short as 2. You can earn 3, 6, or 9 hours in many business, liberal arts, and applied sciences courses.
The advantages of a Faculty-Led Program are that you can take 3 hours of credit in 3 weeks or 6 hours in 4 weeks while visiting a new country. Because courses are offered during winter and summer terms, you won’t miss any semester requirements – plus, spending time with a professor abroad may help you garner a good recommendation for graduate school or a job. Wintersession courses will be posted in September.
We also offer short-term programs through our partners listed above.
