Study abroad is an exciting way to learn about a different culture while completing course credit toward your degree. A semester abroad can easily fit into the Psychology BA degree. URI offers students the opportunity to study with more than 200 affiliated study programs in over 40 different countries. When planning your study abroad it is important to determine in advance how the courses you take at the affiliated study program will transfer to URI. To do so, you will obtain prior approval for your courses.
