Study Abroad Information Sessions

Presented by the International Affairs Coordinator

Attending a study abroad information session is the first step if you are interested in including an international educational experience in your academic program.  Come learn about the wide variety of exciting options, considerations in choosing a program, the important role of your Academic Advisor, budget considerations, the types of financial aid available to help pay for your experience, and what your next steps are.  For sessions held in Rasmuson Hall, students may stay after the session to pick up catalogs for their destinations of interest.  For sessions held in other locations, students may schedule a quick appointment with the International Affairs Coordinator to pick up literature.

Students are advised to also schedule an appointment with their Academic Advisors to discuss their plans to study abroad.

May Schedule

Monday, May 7th, from 2:30-3:45 p.m. in RH 112

Thursday, May 24th, from 2-3:15 p.m. in RH 111

Study abroad information sessions will continue throughout the year, and are typically held every 2-3 weeks. 

Global Opportunities Week & Expos ("Study Abroad +")

Tentative Dates for 2012-2013:  Last week of September & Mid-February 

Twice a year, the Office of International Affairs puts on the Global Opportunities Expo to encourage students to explore the connections between study abroad, academic programs, and international careers (i.e., careers where knowledge of another language or having studied is highly beneficial or that involve the possibility of working abroad).  Events include drop-in table fairs in the Student Union and UAA Housing, and special programs with the study abroad reps with time for questions and answers.

We think these events are so important that we have given them their own web page.  For the latest information, please visit www.uaa.alaska.edu/oia/globalopportunities.cfm or select "Global Opportunities Week & Expos" on the left side of this page.
