Co-Sponsored J-Term Programs

Co-Sponsored Programs

A co-sponsored program is a program managed by a St Thomas approved program provider: AIFS, IES, etc. St Thomas continues to support students with advising and UST administrative logistics; the program provider manages all aspect of the program: academics, housing, onsite student support and excursions.

Application Process
In order to begin the co-sponsored application process, students must attend a study abroad advising session. Students must apply through, and be approved by, both UST Study Abroad and the program provider.

The priority application period does not apply to co-sponsored programs, and students are not required to submit a deposit to UST on application. Deposits are paid directly to the program provider.
