1. Create your Study Abroad Profile and Explore Program Options

Create a Study Abroad Profile using your UND.edu log-in. Fill out the intake survey and browse through UND"s program portfolio. Review the different program models and tips for selecting a program for more details.

2. Attend a Study Abroad 101 Session 

Join us in-person for a Study Abroad 101 session on Mondays or Tuesdays during the semester before making an appointment with the Study Abroad office. Study Abroad 101 covers the basics of study abroad at UND.

3. Meet with your Academic Advisor

Set up a meeting with your Academic Advisor to discuss how study abroad can fit in your academic plan and what classes to look for abroad. Use the Academic Planning page for tips on getting started and questions to ask your Advisor.
