COVID-19 Updates

As with the nature of the COVID19 virus, the world of international travel also remains unpredictable. In hopes for a best case scenario we are supporting students’ education abroad plans for the Summer 2021 and Fall 2021 terms but also advising students that further delays and deferments are a real possibility. The Office of Global initiatives and International Services utilizes federal resources like the State Department Travel Advisories and CDC but also other resources  such as CIEE's Health Risk Index or Johns Hopkins COVID-19 mapping technology to determine travel risk  levels. 

Expand your world and your future

By immersing yourself in another culture somewhere across the globe, you will broaden your international perspective, gain greater awareness of your own culture and history — and collect amazing travel stories to share for a lifetime. Studies show that international experience leads to greater employment opportunities after you graduate — isn't that worth the investment of a semester or summer abroad?

Explore the variety of programs and locations available here. Our staff can help you match your goals and interests with the best international options.
