The Abbey Program and its academic courses are administered by The University of Southern Mississippi and its Center for International Programs. When you apply for The Abbey Program and are accepted, your participation in the program will enroll you as a student at The University of Southern Mississippi for your Abbey semester. You will not pay any fees to USM beyond what The Abbey Program costs.

You can come on The Abbey regardless of what college or university you attend in the USA, and your Abbey credits will transfer back to your home institution after you complete the program and its academic requirements.
