Study Abroad
Set goals and plan for results
Communication Arts and Sciences students can study abroad at any time during their four years, but the faculty highly recommend that you do so before your senior year. With proper planning, study abroad can help you prepare for your professional life in a global context. The process of selecting a study abroad program is similar to selecting your major or minor.
- Begin planning right away. It is never too early to start planning.
- Set some goals. There are many excellent study abroad programs, and the best one should match your objectives.
- Consider and prioritize your long-term academic and professional goals.
- Give yourself time to research and talk to advisers and students who have studied abroad.
