The European Council
The European Council is one of four regional councils operating under the auspices of the System Council for International Education of the University System of Georgia. (For more information on the other three councils of the USG, contact the Board of Regents' Office of International Education)

Membership in the European Council is open to all University System of Georgia colleges and universities. Institutions appoint campus representatives to the council, and these representatives coordinate council activities at their institutions. Other faculty, staff, or administrators are welcomed to attend council meetings. For more information about council activities or meetings, contact the appropriate institutional representative on the EC Campus Representatives and Members List. To foster greater understanding and appreciation of the cultures and societies of Europe, the European Council sponsors a variety of activities and programs for faculty, institutions.

Summer Study Abroad Programs
The European Council sponsors large summer study programs for USG students in major locations in Europe, including St. Petersburg, Bonn, Madrid, Paris, Waterford and London. In courses taught largely by faculty from USG colleges and universities, students blend classroom experiences with group and individual travel as they earn academic credit at their home institutions. These programs bring together students and faculty from across Georgia to share in four or five week intensive learning and travel ventures.

Student Exchange with the University of Northumbria in England
The European Council coordinates semester or year-long exchanges between students at Georgia universities and the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, England. This exchange enables students to earn a semester or academic year's worth of credit while living and studying in one of England's most exciting and student-oriented cities.

International Student Exchange Programs
ISEP is a network of 265 colleges and universities in 38 countries cooperating to provide affordable access to international education for a diverse student population. ISEP students gain intercultural competence through integration into their host institution and host culture while exploring the international dimensions of their academic field. ISEP offers students two options: ISEP-Exchanges: reciprocal exchange among ISEP Member institutions. Exchanges are between US and International Members, or between Member institutions outside the U.S (International-to-International). ISEP-Direct: study abroad programs at ISEP Member institutions open to students from ISEP Member and Affiliate institution
