Apply | Important Steps

1. Identify the different types of programs available.
Familiarize yourself with our three types of programs – Brown, Approved Alternative, and Petition Alternative Programs. Also, consider adding a Global Independent Study Project to any of these program types.
Learn the application procedures for each type of program.
2. Know the deadline to apply to your program.
Coordinating enrollment procedures and travel visa requirements with a host institution abroad can be a complex process. As a result, program deadlines are very important and rarely flexible.
Submit everything on time - read our deadlines!
3. Ready to apply?
Once you start the online application process you will be able to return to your application as many times as needed to complete the materials. You may also see if we have received the materials by looking at the checklist provided in your application account. Just think – you’re one step closer to the adventures that await you abroad!
Create an account and start your application.
