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 best program 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.

Each semester, Education Abroad peer advisors are available to meet with peers to answer your questions and share their study abroad experience from a student perspective.
