Before You Apply


Step 1: Research

Before you select a program, it’s important to understand your options in relation to program type, funding, curriculum, location, and term. Click on “Studying Abroad”, “Domestic Study Away” and “FAQs” on the left- hand menu to get a better understanding of what is available.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see pictures and experiences from your classmates abroad and get updates on important dates.


Step 2: Get Advice

  • Talk to your academic advisor(s) to help figure out where off-campus study fits into your academic plan. This step is critical to figuring out when is the best time for you to participate in an off-campus study program.

  • Talk to your athletic coach (if applicable) to determine the best time to go abroad based on your athletic schedule.

  • Talk to your peers that have studied off-campus to hear about their experiences.

  • Talk to CGE advisors to help find a program that fits your goals and needs.


Step 3: See What’s Out There

You can find study abroad programs by location through the interactive world map or search by categories using the Advanced Search function. By using the Advanced Search function, You have the choice of searching programs by the Program Type, Country, City, Provider, Term, Major, Subject, or by Keyword. You can search by one of the search criteria or all; however for the best results we suggest limiting your criteria.
