Planning

Plan early

A lot goes into planning your study abroad experience, so be sure to start early. Ideally, you should start planning one year before going abroad. Tell your advisor now that you are thinking about going abroad, and start planning your required courses accordingly. It is never too early to start! Make an appointment with your advisor in the Carson College of Business Center for Student Success.

Next Steps to Take to Study Abroad
