    • The Carlson Global Institute strongly encourages students to live in the on-campus housing options as those are affiliated with and vetted by the partner institutions.
    • Students should check the host university website and fact sheet for specific accommodations information including on-campus and off-campus options, application process and deadline, and cost information.

    • Preferred minimum GPA of 3.0
    • Students are held to business course prerequisites of the host institution
    • CGI strongly recommends that students completed both semesters of I-CORE prior to participating on a business exchange program, although it is not required.  For students who want to participate on a business exchange program prior to completing both I-CORE semesters:
      • Students pursuing a Marketing, MIS, or ACCT major need to have completed MAROON I-CORE prior to participating on a business exchange program
      • Students pursuing a Finance, Entre, SCO, or HRIR major need to have completed GOLD I-CORE prior to participating on a business exchange program
    • Although not required, we encourage students to complete some more major courses prior to participating on a business exchange program.  Students should plan closely with their academic advisers prior to participating on an exchange program program. 
    • The University of Minnesota shall provide equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, creed, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
    • All Carlson students are responsible for obtaining a passport before they participate on a study abroad program
    • All students participating on an exchange program will be responsible for obtaining a visa or residence permit if required by their host country. The Carlson Global Institute does not process visa applications for students participating on exchange programs

    To apply for an exchange program you must first apply through the Carlson Global Institute. More application instructions can be found on our Apply page. You will be charged a $50 application fee for each term that you apply for a program. Applications will be reviewed and students will be informed of their status within 6 weeks of the priority deadline. Once accepted into an exchange program, you will also complete an application with the host university.

    Most financial aid may be applied to study abroad. University of Minnesota students are eligible for education abroad scholarships. Please visit "Financial Aid" and "Scholarships" for more information.
