Step 1: Complete your Education Abroad Profile.
The Education Abroad Profile is a form that provides the education abroad advising team with a comprehensive overview of your wants and needs of an education abroad program.
Find a step-by-step guide for planning your experience abroad below.
Step 2: Research where you want to go.
Match program options to your academic or geographic interests by searching through our Program Directory. Visit our Resources for Students tab to read blogs from past students if you want more information about a particular location.
Step 3: Get advised.
If you still have questions after completing the Education Abroad Profile, you can meet with an Education Abroad Advisor in a 1:1 appointment tailored to your needs and interests. If you have a quick question, you can swing by for Drop-In Advising.
Step 4: Apply to the program that best fits your needs.
Applications and deadlines are unique to the program you've selected. Be sure to fill out the correct application, and pay close attention to deadlines. Visit our Resources for Students tab for application tips.
Step 5: Find scholarships and grants
