You need to find a program that matches your academic needs and your personal objectives. Selecting a Study Abroad program can be difficult since there is a wide variety of programs from which to choose. There are many factors that you should consider: destination, field of study, program length, program term, course offerings, language of instruction, etc. When you are searching for a program, try to answer the following questions in order to determine which one is right for you:
