Academic Programs Abroad
Getting Started Step One - Questions to Consider
When thinking about studying abroad it is important to consider these questions:
- Do I want a program in a particular country or am I open to different options?
- Is cost a factor?
- Do I plan on taking courses in my major/minor or in general education?
- Do I want to live with a family or in a residence hall?
- Would I prefer a big city or a smaller town?
- Am I looking for a program where I can study in English or in another language, or perhaps a combination of language study and coursework in English?
- How long can I study abroad? Is a full-year a good option for me, or perhaps just a semester? Is summer a better time for me to consider a program abroad?
- Am I looking for a full immersion program where I study with students from the US as well as other countries in a foreign university, or would I prefer to study in a setting with other American students, a U.S. faculty member and a bi-lingual site diretcor? In other words, what is my "comfort zone" ?
