Meet with a Study Abroad Adviser

Study Abroad Advising

Our Study Abroad Advisers are here to support you throughout your entire journey—from exploring programs and navigating the application process to understanding credit transfer and accessing campus resources. Advisers are available to you before, during, and after your study abroad experience.

We offer two types of meetings, available in person or via Zoom:

• 15-minute Quick Questions: Ideal for brief questions, quick overviews, or check-ins
• 30-minute Advising Sessions: Recommended for more in-depth conversations about program selection, academic planning, or next steps

While each adviser specializes in certain regions, you’re welcome to meet with any adviser, especially if you're still deciding where you'd like to go.
