School of Record

While most ISA and TEAN programs take place at accredited host universities abroad, some are operated directly by ISA/TEAN to provide unique academic experiences otherwise not available in that location. To secure academic credit for these programs, ISA and TEAN have partnered with a School of Record. The School of Record provides oversight of the academic process, including: reviewing syllabi, approving course offerings, evaluating instructor qualifications, and ensuring academic quality. Courses offered during these programs are evaluated by the School of Record to determine and assign an equivalent course at the School of Record. Students who participate in the programs listed below will be issued a transcript by the School of Record, and ISA/TEAN will provide this transcript to the students’ home universities, following our standard protocol, to help facilitate credit transfer. As with all ISA/TEAN programs, students are encouraged to discuss their academic needs and obtain course approval from their home university prior to the start of their program.
