The Coordinating Board defines study abroad courses as "off-campus, academic credit instruction which is delivered outside the United States primarily to regular on-campus students." Study-in-America courses are defined as "off-campus, academic credit instruction which is delivered outside Texas but in the United States primarily to regular on-campus students." Institutions are required to certify that all courses meet the Coordinating Board's Standards for Out-of-State and Out-of-Country Courses. Institutions certify compliance with those standards through an online reporting system. Links to the standards and the reporting system are below. Please contact Dr. Van L. Davis (van.davis@thecb.state.tx.us) for all questions regarding study abroad and study-in-America.
