Non-Brown Program Application

Students who are applying to a non-Brown program, approved or petition, will apply directly to the host-institution or provider. Brown students will also be required to complete a Brown-approved application.  It is best to apply early, because many programs accept applications on a rolling admissions basis.

OIP recommends applying to an Alternative Program as soon as possible, even if you have not yet received approval from Brown. 

Please note: The Brown deadlines above are for application to study abroad, not for admission to Brown University. For information about applying to Brown, visit to the Brown University Admissions website.
