If you have questions about the academics or courses available on this program, locate the Program Advisor to email them your questions directly.

Studying abroad can be a more meaningful and invigorating learning experience than at home—both inside and outside of the classroom. You may be more curious and alert than you usually are so use this heightened energy to enhance your studies as well as your cultural and geographical explorations. You may also encounter different teaching styles and course processes; be prepared to adapt and to learn.

Academics

USAC’s partnership with the University of Stirling provides you with a wide array of academic options. You may choose from courses offered in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences, and Stirling Management School. Students take three courses each semester. You will not be allowed to take more or less than this. Each module is 20 Scottish credits and is equivalent to 5 U.S. semester credits. Courses are subject to change and approval of prerequisites which are determined by the University of Stirling.
