Things to consider in planning where to study:
Narrow possibilities by geographic location, i.e. a region like Europe or South America
If possible narrow by country of interest
Identify any specific academics of interest – i.e. your major, minor, gen eds, elective courses, or languages.
Deciding when to study, consider:
Semester/Academic Year
Summer
Winter Break
Short programs; faculty led study tours or service learning trips usually 1 to 6 weeks in length
When in your academic career you want to study abroad – this should take into account academic requirements. Contact your adviser and the OIE to discuss options.
Other things to consider:
Attend a Study Abroad Information Session to learn more about the process
Talk to your academic adviser about courses you could consider taking abroad.
**Make an appointment with OIE to discuss your abroad options as early as possible.**
