Narrative:
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has contractual agreements for which the student is taught through a consortial relationship and receives credit from the university. These agreements arise from membership in the following exchange consortia:
- International Student Exchange Program (ISEP)
- Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE)
- Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA)
These agreements allow students to complete courses taught by UTC faculty or by faculty from other consortium member institutions.
Additionally, the university has completed bilateral exchange agreements with foreign universities not included in these consortia. These agreements are initiated by the partner institution or by the Office of International Education and Study Abroad Programs. All agreements are reviewed by the Provost and approved by the Chancellor.
