Preparation

Accepted students are required to participate in an international cross-cultural preparation course (IAS 201R, 1 credit hour) during the second block of winter semester 2026. This class will be held Wednesdays from 4 to 6 PM.

Part-time BYU and non-BYU students will need to pay an additional tuition fee for enrolling in this prep class.

Students must meet all country- and program- health requirements for travel.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing and you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in international locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see https://kennedy.byu.edu/isp-travel-policy.
