Advising

The Education Abroad Office offers comprehensive advising services to help guide you through the discernment process and assist you in finding a program that suits your financial, personal, and academic goals. We also work with your academic advisor, the Office of the Registrar, and the Office of Student Financial Services to ensure you are on-track for your degree and are maintaining a full-time student status while abroad.
