What if you want to study in a country where English is not the primary language? It is possible, and there are many universities that have courses (and majors!) taught in English.

Start with American Universities and those that are Regionally Accredited. But it is possible to attend universities in countries where they speak a foreign language. In addition, most courses are taught in English, FAFSA financial aid is accepted and credit will transfer back to the U.S.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES
American University of Paris (www.aup.edu)
American University in Cairo (www.aucegypt.edu)
American University of Rome (www.aur.edu)
American University of Beirut (www.aub.edu.lb)
American University of Sharjah (www.aus.edu)

FOREIGN LANGUAGES ABROAD
You can also take classes in foreign languages abroad.
You can find universities that offer classes, however it may be better to work with language schools abroad that offer credit back to the U.S. This way you can study abroad from two weeks all the way up a year, mastering a foreign language, and then transfer credit back to the U.S.
Three large language schools with multiple locations are Eurocentres (www.eurocentres.com), Berlitz (www.berlitz. com) and EF Language Schools (www.ef.com)

ENGLISH SPEAKING UNIVERSITIES THAT ACCEPT FAFSA FINANCIAL AID
English, of course, is the most prominent language spoken in the 300+ universities that can accept FAFSA abroad.
