English Language vs Non-English Language Programs
Do you want to learn anew language? Do you want to improve upon your
foreign language skills? Do you want to attend classes taught in English?
Different program options enable students to begin anew language, to com
plete language requirements, or to gain fluency. Students may also choose a
program which allows them to take classes exclusively or primarily in English.
Such programs are found around the world, especially in Asian, European
and African countries.

What Our Students Say
- Studying abroad at AUC gave me a chance to step outside of
my comfort zone and meet new people, from Egypt and also
from other Universities in the U.S. It was also an invaluable
experience to live in the Middle East and see world politics
from a very different perspective. - Lisa Slrallon, Egypt
- Spending the year abroad was the best decision about my UNC
education that I have made. 1 love Chapel Hill, but being away
from it for a year has taught me more about myself, the rest of
the world, and my home than I ever could have learned by sit
ting in the classroom. The only way to really know a place is to
leave it, so I would recommend that every person go out and
spend some time in a foreign land having priceless experiences
learning about anew culture and in the process learning a little
about where you came from yourself. - Liz Barrel!, Japan/UK
- Studying in London was a remarkable way to learn about British
politics. World War 11, and the economics of the European
Union. Only 20% of Americans own a passport; this is an oppor
tunity to get out of the Chapel Hill bubble and avoid being a
statistic. You will meet people with a totally different per
spective than you and experience places you've only seen in
movies. Study abroad at UNC is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
