3. Meet with a Study Abroad Advisor
Schedule a one-on-one appointment with a Study Abroad Advisor to discuss your list of options. This appointment will directly address your specific questions and concerns and help to identify the best program for you.
4. Meet with your Academic Advisor
While academic advisors cannot advise you on which study abroad programs are right for you, we recommend students keep their advisor informed on their intent to study abroad as early as possible.
If you are already in the process of applying to an exchange or affiliate study abroad program, you can meet with your academic advisor if you wish to pre-approve international coursework to guaruntee its transfer applicability to your degree plan.
