Meet with an Education Abroad Adviser
Education abroad advisers work with a specific portfolio of locations and/or program types and can help answer questions about your program of interest including how other programs compare, the application process, pre-departure processes, and cultural preparation. All education abroad advising appointments are offered virtually using Zoom.
