College Study Abroad
Application Process

Step One – Make sure you meet the minimum requirements! Many of our programs do not require previous language study.

Step Two – Make sure that your school will accept the credit for the program you have chosen. We strongly suggest that you make an appointment with your school’s study abroad department for guidelines. While you are there, please have the study abroad advisor sign the Permission to Study Abroad Form.

Step Three - Register for the program with plenty of time (8 weeks or more before your planned start date). Don't wait until the deadline, programs get full and not all students are accepted.
