Study Abroad Information Session
Interested in studying abroad? Completing an info session is your first step in the application process.
Students are required to complete the Study Abroad Info Session in order to apply for the current application period.

Once you have completed the Study Abroad Info Session you will receive access to the online study abroad application (in December).
Current Application Period: S24, F24, and W25 - info sessions will open in mid-September.
Application Due Date: Friday, January 26th, 2024 - for most programs (find a full list of application due dates here)
