Students who do not have a program/location selected must first come to a Study Abroad 101 session (where you will learn the basics about available programs, academics, finances, and more!) OR review the materials on our Getting Started page. If you need additional help narrowing program options after attending a 101 session, you may meet 1:1 with a general advisor!
