Academics Abroad

Adjusting to a different academic system can be challenging when coupled with the excitement of living in a new country. Learn how academics abroad may differ depending on program type, how courses get approved, how grades are determined and more!

Know your Costs

Understanding your personal budget and current costs on campus will benefit your search to find a program that works best for you financially. Take into consideration funding options and out-of-pocket expenses when comparing options.

Funding Options

Making sure education abroad suits your academic and financial needs is important. Begin exploring financial aid, scholarships, and fundraising options to help pay for your experience abroad. Also research how billing and payments may affect your budget.

Preparing to Travel

Getting ready to travel and understanding the basics like passports and flight arrangements will help you be better prepared for your experience abroad. As part of that preparation you will also partake in one or more pre-departure orientation sessions.

Health and Safety

Managing your health and safety abroad is essential. The Office for Education Abroad collaborates with the Office of International Health and Safety to provide guidance to students as they prepare to depart, as well as respond to emergencies abroad.
