Information for Parents

Welcome to Study Abroad!

Study abroad is the single most effective and inspiring experience students can have to broaden their international and intercultural awareness. As participants prepare for and participate in their overseas experience, we encourage friends and family members to refer to the information provided on this website and to contact us in the International Education Office if questions remain.

“To study abroad has been my daughter's dream since she was a small child, and through her own hard work and studies, and because of your concern and the University's generosity, she will be able to fulfill her dream. And, as you probably are aware, a child's dream becomes a parent's dream as well.”
