Once you have completed the Education Abroad Workshop, you are encouraged to meet with an Education Abroad Advisor. Advisors are specialists in the field of international education with regional expertise. They can help you evaluate program options in order to meet your goals, answer specific questions, and guide you throughout the process of applying and preparing to study abroad.
When requesting an appointment, please specify your class year, major, academic goals for your international experience, program(s) and term you are interested in, and a list of specific questions you would like to discuss.
During the summer, email the advisor with whom you would like to meet to set up a date and time. Hours listed below are available during the academic year.
