学生们 enrolled directly in an overseas institution and take courses from the host institution’s regular curriculum. Therefore, courses are usually taken alongside 学生 from the host country and taught in the host country’s language. This is often a good fit for the more independent student, the student with more advanced language skills (if the course work is taught in the 宿主language), and for 学生 looking for a broad range of classes.

也可以考虑 混合项目, which are a mix of both center-based and direct enroll, offering 学生 some coursework specific to the program as well as the option to take one or two courses at a local 大学.

Center-based programs are designed for U.S. 研究 abroad 学生 and are not usually linked to a host institution, though the faculty likely come from local universities. 类将 be with other program participants, not local 学生, and the course selection will likely be smaller than with direct enroll. The classes are often taught in 英语 or in the 宿主language but taught towards language learners. Center programs can have very small enrollments or be quite large. Since these are built for U.S. 研究 abroad 学生, these programs are often more structured in terms of on-site support and built-in excursions. This is a good fit for 学生 who may not have the language skills needed to direct enroll, for those who want to remain in a similar academic 教室 style to the U.S., and for those seeking more structured support.

混合项目 are a mix of both center-based and direct enroll, offering 学生 some coursework specific to the program as well as the option to take one or two courses at a local 大学. This model is a good option for 学生 who are drawn to both options. Students who select this program type may want to challenge themselves by taking one or two 大学 courses with local 学生 but are not looking to fully immerse in the new higher education system. Some 学生 might choose this option when center-based appeals to them but they need certain classes that are only available outside of the center.
