Study abroad is the intersection between your personal and intellectual interests. It is therefore imperative that you develop an academic plan to ensure that your precious time abroad is spent wisely. What is it that you would like to achieve, academically, while you are abroad? What are your personal interests? If you can already identify your academic goals for study abroad, program selection will be more straightforward. If you are unsure, take some time to draft a priority learning list that may include some of these considerations. No matter what your goals, NOW is the time to meet with your departmental academic advisor on campus to map out your four year degree plan and talk about what coursework you can take abroad.
