Check out these Major Advising pages to find out how you can study abroad and make progress toward your degree at the same time!
The Programs Abroad Office, academic departments, and colleges have collaborated to create web pages tailored to assist students as well as academic advisors, faculty, and study abroad professionals. Not every major has a Major Advising web page yet. Over the next few years, collaboration with colleges and departments will yield Study Abroad Major Advising pages for almost all remaining majors on campus.
The fact that a Major Advising page does not exist for your major does not limit your eligibility to study abroad. Come to a First Steps session in the Programs Abroad Office for more resources on choosing an appropriate program.
A few other things to keep in mind:
1. Save some of your GEs to do while abroad
2. Plan early! The best time to start is NOW.
3. Take one of your core courses (HUM or MMW, more to come!) abroad with Global Seminars

If you are a CS or CE major here is a presentation on how you can GO ABROAD! and GRADUATE ON TIME!
