Exchange Programs are denoted with a hyphen (-) followed by the exchange university's name (-Doshisha University).

These providers include: CCSA, (Univ of Evansville), GLO (formerly IBS), KIIS, , CEA CAPA, (UW-River Falls) ISA, TEAN (World Strides), and USAC.

Meet with an Education Abroad Advisor
If you need help narrowing down your options or have specific concerns not covered in open advising, consider meeting with the Education Abroad Advisor.
Before your advising appointment, please do the following:
-
Familiarize yourself with available programs - use the website to identify which programs you might be interested in discussing with the advisor. You should consider program location, length, timing, and available courses when researching programs. It is also important to factor in how your major or minor would benefit from such a course or program.
-
Limit your options - select a few programs that interest you and appear to fit your academic and personal requirements. Think about any personal goals you may have for your study abroad experience, such as obtaining language fluency.
When you're ready to discuss your options, reach out to our office to set an appointment with the Education Abroad Advisor. Please include a short list of possible programs in your email so our advisor can prepare any relevant information prior to your appointment.
