Advising for Education Abroad

A student’s first step in learning about education abroad is to attend a general information meeting. Meetings are held throughout the semester. After attending an information meeting, students can make an appointment to meet with a study abroad advisor.

Eligibility

Students in any major can go abroad. Students majoring in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines will need to plan early. Most programs are available to students with a minimum of a 2.75 GPA. Some programs require a certain level of foreign language proficiency, but many programs in non-English speaking countries offer classes in English.
