The primary goal is to help students develop essential skills for future success in our academic environment. A wide range of topics is offered from nearly all disciplines. The professor serves as the academic advisor for each student. Our international studies programs are carefully designed to allow all students to participate if they wish to do so. It is important that your son plan ahead as he will want to stop by the International Studies Office early in his first year to check our study-abroad course offerings.
Students generally study abroad during their junior or senior year.
Primarily, students are encouraged to communicate directly with their professors. Most important, be patient and understanding. The first semester is a particularly difficult time for students. Stay in touch. Be supportive as your son works through the transition and adjustments.
