Required First Step: Study Abroad Information Meeting 

Before speaking with a study abroad advisor, all students need to watch the Study Abroad Information Meeting, which goes over how to get started, researching programs, finding classes abroad, program requirements, connecting with study abroad alumni and international students, and next steps.

If you still have questions after the Information Meeting, your study abroad advisors would be happy to speak with you.

Watch the Information Meeting here.
