FAQ

How does it affect my path towards my degree?

  • We ensure that your degree requirements are met and that your timeline towards graduation is not delayed
  • You also take an elective class specifically designed for the AIF

How much will it cost?

  • Existing exchange agreements with the partner universities ensure that you pay regular fees to UT
  • The major added cost is travel: the AIF is funded by the NSF, which provides scholarships ($2,000-$4,000 per student)

What is the balance of teaching and research?

  • You take classes that most closely match the degree-required classes at UT
  • The UT International Office helps with these arrangements
  • You also take research-for-credit in the lab of one of our partnering PIs, much like an advanced FRI program
