Third-Party Provider
TSU-Approved Global Learning Partners
A third-party provider (also called a program provider or vendor) is an external organization that partners with TSU to offer study abroad opportunities. These providers specialize in coordinating international programs, including courses, internships, housing, travel logistics, and on-site support.
Unlike faculty-led programs—where you travel with TSU professors—or consortium programs through TBR partners, third-party programs are managed by independent organizations that work closely with TSU’s Office of International Education and Global Learning (IEGL) to ensure academic credit and safety compliance.
Students apply both to TSU (for pre-approval) and to the provider’s program directly. Once approved, you’ll receive TSU credit, maintain financial aid eligibility, and benefit from the provider’s global network of academic and professional opportunities.
