Student International Travel Considerations
- U.S. Department of State: Revised Worldwide Caution.
- Entry Requirement for Travel To and Transit Through the United Kingdom: Travelers from the U.S. and many other countries are required to have a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter or transit through the UK. The ETA costs £10 and is valid for two years or until the passport used to obtain the ETA expires. Apply for the ETA online or through the UK ETA app. While approvals are predicted to be within three days or faster, students are advised to apply at least three weeks in advance of planned travel in case of processing delays. To learn more, visit the links above or watch videos on what an ETA is and how to apply for a UK ETA.

Ingrid appreciates the challenge of applying her academic training as an anthropologist of education to her role as director of Global Internships and instructor for Global Studies courses associated with internships abroad. Having lived in seven countries from childhood onwards, she remains fascinated by the revelations, relationships, and serendipitous moments that arise through cross-cultural engagements. She believes that with an inquiring mind and encouragement, you can learn something profound in any internship abroad. Some of her greatest joys include train travel, South Asian textiles, and coffee.
