Generally, the fundamental business courses are the ones for which finding equivalents with our international partners is easiest. Of course, this doesn’t mean that other course equivalents can’t be found abroad.
That said, we strongly recommend that our students do research on their courses before applying in order to explore all their options and ensure that the chosen partner is the right fit for them. This research is the responsibility of the students.
We are here to help—please make use of all the resources below and reach out to JSOM Abroad. Any course not already listed on the master list will need to be approved by the corresponding JSOM program. We encourage you to apply and make the most of your study abroad experience!
Resources to find your courses abroad
- The Master List on the UTD Website

FCAF Process:
The students need to work on their Foreign Course Articulation Form (FCAF) once they are nominated. The FCAF shows how your courses abroad will be transferred at UTD.
