What is an exchange program?
These programs offer a traditional exchange experience, and include you paying Fitchburg State tuition and fees as you normally would. Students participating on a faculty led program must request an official transcript. Additional fees would come in the form of transportation costs, housing and a student visa.
Below see pictures from our students here at Fitchburg State and the surrounding area as well as studying abroad in many different locations.
How do I apply?
Exchange programs and any provider-led programs include courses taught at foreign universities and require additional paperwork (the Preliminary Registration Approval Form (PDF), or "PRAF,") for credits to transfer.
Email Study Abroad Adviser, Nicole Salerno at nsalerno@fitchburgstate.edu for assistance with this form, and we will work with your Departmental Advisor and the Registrar for course approvals.
