Announcements of meetings, upcoming deadlines, and new programs will be posted here. Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to learn about the range of offerings available. Some language departments and area studies programs sponsor informational meetings, so look for those as well. All students are welcome, whether you're still looking for information about a wide range of options or you've narrowed your choices down to one or two programs. You don't need to know exactly what you want to do or where you want to go before setting up an appointment, but if you have read the relevant information and looked into some programs, you will have a better sense of what questions to ask.
Faculty are often excellent resources on programs abroad.
Note that some departments may have special deadlines or requirements for study abroad, so be sure to check with your major department and the appropriate language department, if you plan to study on a program taught in a language other than English. The list of current students who have studied abroad is kept on file in a binder in the Study Abroad Library. Returned students are an excellent resource, and generally are very willing to talk about their experiences and share their pictures and other mementos. The web is an excellent source of information about programs and universities abroad, as well as other information that will help you plan ahead.
