Advising


Our Education Abroad Team is here to support you through your entire Education Abroad experience, from your initial questions to your return to campus. We can help you identify the program that is the best fit for you based on your academic, personal and professional goals. We also can answer questions about academic considerations, funding your Education Abroad, global health and safety, and program options. We are here to support you while you prepare to travel internationally, maybe for the first time, and while you are abroad.

Each semester, Education Abroad Peer Advisors are also available to meet with peers to discuss their study abroad experience from a student perspective.
