Thinking About Study Abroad?

Having a son or daughter who is thinking about studying abroad can be both exciting and a bit scary for a parent.

Fortunately, there is no need to fear a well-planned study abroad experience. The field of study abroad is quite well-developed and nearly 200,000 US college students study abroad annually for a semester, summer or academic year. Most high quality and experienced study abroad organizations are capable of running enriching and safe programs.

Almost all students who study abroad rate their experience highly - in our many years in study abroad, we have rarely come across a student who regrets studying abroad. Beyond personal development and growth, in our increasingly interconnected world, having the skills to work with or in other cultures will be a key skill for professional success.

Learn More

We encourage you learn more about how to select a study abroad program, what the benefits of study abroad are and how your son or daughter should best manage the credit transfer process.

Starting early and planning a study abroad experience in advance will help ensure a smooth experience before, during and after a study abroad program. As parent, you can encourage your son or daughter to plan ahead and be organized, though ultimately this is an experience he or she will go through on their own!
