For students who want to spend a longer time in an international setting, SILS provides semester-long study abroad opportunities. These opportunities are open to SILS students only.

The school has formal study abroad agreements with three schools: the Faculty of Information Studies at the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen, Denmark; Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic; the Department of Library Science, Information Science and Book Studies at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; and the University of Carlos III in Madrid.

In addition, UNC at Chapel Hill has formal university ties with approximately 75 other universities -- many of them with library and information science schools -- where SILS students can spend a semester studying abroad. In most cases, a student pays UNC tuition and becomes a regular student in the overseas institution. Benefits include low cost for in-state students, full immersion into the host culture and a wide range of subjects and courses from which to choose. Credit received for the classes appear as transfer credit on the student's transcript.
