Internships
Lengths of internships vary but usually involve six to twelve weeks. These may be prearranged independent studies or working internships directed by faculty at the University of Arkansas in cooperation with a university or agency.

Semester
Longer programs are designed to give students a full semester of study abroad in their field of interest and in their country of choice. Students enroll for UA study abroad credit, and the courses transfer to the University of Arkansas. Planning in advance with their adviser allows students to build a strong academic transcript.

Year
This option is essentially the same as the semester option, in which courses taken abroad may be transferred back to the University of Arkansas. Special planning is required so that all credit hours earned abroad are transferable to the student's degree program.

Study Visits and Tours
Individualized study visits for two to four weeks can be arranged for one student or a group of students, coordinated by the resident director in Edinburgh. Specific student responsibilities are planned in advance with their University of Arkansas faculty adviser to complement the student's field of study and to earn academic credit.
