Once you have selected a study abroad program you are ready to begin the application process. Whether you are applying for a UPS-sponsored/partner or approved program, all students are required to complete the Application for Approval to Study Abroad. You will need to meet with your academic advisor to complete the course approval section of this form. Each of the study abroad program options has a specific application packet. Check with International Programs for instructions for completing your forms. Remember there are application deadlines for study abroad programs.

Applying for a study abroad program requires thoughtful consideration. The Practical Questions guide alerts you to many things you need to think about regarding your decision. If you have financial concerns related to your program, we suggest completing the budget worksheet for study abroad and also reviewing the list of outside scholarships for study abroad. Finally, the links section includes important offices and services to help with your preparation for study abroad.
