Group Advising

Once you have identified a specific Education Abroad program of interest, we strongly encourage you to attend a group advising session for that program before scheduling a 1:1 advising appointment. Click here to view our group advising sessions.

When do I need a 1:1 advising appointment?

1:1 advising appointments are not required and can be scheduled on an as-needed basis to supplement group advising sessions. If you have NOT identified a specific Education Abroad program of interest, our open advising hours are a great option to further explore programs.

How do I know with which advisor I should schedule a meeting?

If group advising options do not work for your schedule, you can schedule a 1:1 appointment to meet with an Education Abroad Advisor for your program of interest. The information below will help you identify which advisor you should meet.
