What does it mean to study abroad through an affiliated (third-party) partner program?

Students interested in studying for a semester abroad may choose an exchange or affiliated partner program. An affiliated partner program is a program in which JSOM has an agreement on file with either a host institution or a third-party provider that allows JSOM to send students to that program. Unlike the exchange program, it is a one-way relationship. JSOM sends students to them, but they do not send students to JSOM. Therefore, students do not pay UTD tuition for the opportunity. They typically pay a comprehensive program fee directly to the institution or provider. JSOM does not recommend third-party programs as the cost is very high, and the courses taken are not guaranteed to transfer back.
