Education Abroad: Getting Started

Attend the Education Abroad Fair in the fall semester.

Discuss your plans to study abroad with your student success coach. Develop an academic plan that organizes all classes and credits you need to graduate on time. Make sure you consider your general education requirements, major, minor, department, and scholarship (performing arts) requirements.

Identify your needs and interests. Education abroad should support your degree, enrich your professional life and future career, and contribute to your personal goals.

Research our programs and the host institutions' cities and countries before meeting with an education abroad advisor.

Make an appointment with an education abroad advisor to discuss your study abroad program options. To make an advising appointment with Rachel Birkley, Associate Director, Education Abroad, please click here.
