Students Abroad

Planning Guide
The planning guide is a compass, a tool that has a lot of basic but important information for the student who is abroad. To refresh your memory on some of those basic topics, you may find the Guide helpful

Study Abroad Handbook
While you are away from campus, both you and your parents have access to the Study Abroad Handbook on our web site. Some topics that made no sense or relevance to you before your departure will possibly have more meaning now that you are away. Feel free to read sections of the book again and again to help you get through the various phases of cultural adjustment cycle and/or to find information on various aspects of being away from campus. 

Programs
Sometimes a study abroad experience gives students a taste of the possibilities.  About 10% of the students participate in study abroad programs more than once. If you want to see some academic study, work, internship, research, volunteer options for a "second serving", check out the Programs page.
