What is a UI Direct Program?
A UI Direct program means that the University of Idaho has an agreement directly with a university or a program abroad rather than going through a third party provider.  UI Direct programs are usually the most inexpensive options for students. 

Who should study on a UI Direct Program?
UI Direct programs are recommended for students who are independent and want to immerse themselves into the community of the host country.  Most universities will offer an orientation upon arrival so that students can get acquainted with the university system, campus, and city, but it is usually up to the student to navigate the university system, register for classes, etc.

There are a few UI Direct Programs who have full-time Resident Directors.  Resident Directors are there to provide in-depth orientations and on-site support.  They usually get students registered for their classes, set-up their housing, take them on excursions, and provide other help as needed by students.  UI Direct programs with Resident Directors are:  PUCE in Ecuador, SANN Research Institute in India and Nepal, and KCP Language Institute in Japan.
