Goals & Objectives

The guide below will help get you started on defining your goals and objectives for your study abroad experience.

Academics

Stay on track for graduation by using study abroad courses to satisfy major, minor, breadth, and general education requirements. Your goal is to determine how many, and what type of, classes you need before you begin your program search. Meet with an Academic Advisor to review the programs and courses you are considering to determine how they will fulfill your degree requirements.

Personal

From the length of participation to the level of engagement with the locals, personal goals are unique to every individual. It is important to understand and define your priorities when selecting a study abroad program.
