The University at Albany organizes more than 80 different study abroad options each year, including full year, semester, summer, and winter session courses. Program types include direct enrollment, language courses, service learning, research, internships, and faculty-led courses.

Other four-year State University of New York campuses offer additional programs for which Albany students are eligible. Students participating on any SUNY program register on the Albany campus, which permits them to maintain eligibility for financial aid. Students participating in two-year community college, contract college, or non-SUNY programs during the academic year request a leave for approved study from the Albany campus for the duration of the program.
