UNO Direct

UNO Direct Programs give Mavericks the opportunity to enroll directly at one of UNO's partner universities around the world.
UNO Direct programs are good for students who:
- Want a high level of support abroad, but don't have the funds to pay for an affiliate provider program
- Value being based at a host university rather than an organized study center for American students
- Looking for an affordable program at a partner university, but don't want to compete for an exchange placement
- Need a program that costs close to a semester at UNO and cost of living in Omaha does
- Feel more comfortable knowing they will meet a group of fellow study abroad students as soon as they arrive at their destination
- Have specific course needs that match the extensive English-taught classes offered through UNO Direct
Early applications are encouraged!
