How competitive is it to study abroad?

Because our university is committed to internationalization, we want to make is as easy as possible for students to study abroad. The International Studies Office can assist you in deciding which program is right for you and which semester you should go. For most programs, the only requirements are that you must be at least a sophmore and in good academic standing. If a program is more restrictive, it is because the program deals with a specialized area of interest or requires certain academic preparation. Again, you can refer to the Fact Sheet or check with the International Studies Office if you have questions about a specific program.
