Plan with your Academic Advisor

Connecting with your Academic Advisor

You should talk to your academic advisor about studying abroad as soon as you’re interested. Planning early with your advisor will allow you to strategically plan which courses you should take before, during, and after your time abroad to stay on track for graduation. Plus, your advisor might have some specific programs in mind that are a great fit for your major such as a faculty-led program or a pre-approved Global Track.

If you already have a program or location in mind, your advisor can help you determine which courses are a good fit for you to satisfy your graduation requirements, including any general education and second language requirements you may have.

Questions to ask your Academic Advisor

Although more specific questions will come up as you decide on a program and consider your particular situation, here are some recommended general questions:

  • When is the best time for me to participate in study abroad?
  • Does my major have any Global Tracks or faculty-led programs?
  • What other graduation requirements can I fulfill abroad?
  • How can I fit an international internship into my degree?
  • Does my major department offer any scholarships that I can apply for?
