Academic Advising for Study Abroad

The OIP – Study Abroad always advises students to start planning early. Most students may not know which program they want to participate in as a freshman but discussing which term(s)/year(s) would work best, and which courses they will want to plan to take abroad is an important first step. The earlier this can be incorporated into their degree program plans, the better. It will also help them focus as they are considering which program offerings meet their needs as well as peak their interests.

We never expect advisors to serve as experts in our programs and their course offerings, but we share as much detailed information as we possibly can for each program in our online database. From there you can search for particular programs with the sort options or see everything currently available.

Each program should have an Academics section. For many programs, course information will be available. We’re fortunate that for many, the information is quite detailed, although for others it may be more limited based on when/if our partner updates that information. For some we may be able to look at a previous term’s offerings, or the program advisor can help determine what previous students have taken to provide a sense of what will be available. While Study Abroad encourages students to do their research and share proposed courses with their advisors for consideration and planning, should you wish to review any information on the website, it is there for you. Certainly, the Study Abroad staff is a resource as well, should you have any questions.
