How to Use the LSU Abroad Portal

List All Programs

This approach displays all programs/exchanges, including summer/intersession programs, international exchanges, and domestic exchanges. This list may be helpful to browse, but be warned: LSU offers many programs, and they are all on this list!

If you'd rather search for a particular program type, you can choose from the list below:

  • Summer and Intersession Programs
  • International Exchange Partners
  • Domestic Exchange Partners through NSE
  • LSU Course Field Trips/Excursions (short trips associated with a particular on-campus class)

Simple Search

Using the Simple Search feature of the LSU Abroad Portal, you can search by the following parameters:

  • Program name
  • Term of program/exchange
  • City
  • Country
  • Region

For example, you can search for all programs in Europe during the spring semester

Advanced Search

The Advanced Search allows you to search by the following additional parameters:

  • APA program type (summer/intersession programs, international exchanges, domestic exchanges, etc.)
  • Subjects offered
  • APA advisor
  • Language of instruction
  • US state (for domestic programs only)
  • NSE tuition plan(s) (for NSE programs only)
  • International exchange type (for international exchanges only)

The true power of the Advanced Search comes from mixing and matching parameters to best suit your needs. For example, you can find a list of the international exchange partners accepting fall semester exchanges with engineering classes taught in English in Asia with a couple clicks of the mouse. Finding the right program has never been easier. 

Map Search

The Map Search allows you to narrow down your choices by clicking on a map. Start by picking a continent. Pick a country, and all of the programs in that country will appear on the map. The locations/programs will also appear in a text box with links to the program pages.

For example, you can find the APA exchange partner in Ecuador by clicking on South America and then Ecuador.
