Your Study Abroad Journey Starts Here
Not sure which program is right for you? That's exactly what we're here for.
All Rawls students interested in studying abroad should begin by attending a CGE First Step Session. We'll walk you through program options, eligibility, the application process, important deadlines and more.
Consider your major, remaining coursework, graduation timeline and where you'd like to go.
Once you've identified the right program, complete and submit your study abroad application by the applicable deadline.
Important: Program eligibility and academic requirements vary. Some programs have prerequisites or additional requirements. Submitting an application does not guarantee participation, and programs may fill before the published application deadline.
Plan for Your Experience
Cost shouldn't be the reason you assume studying abroad isn't possible. Program costs vary considerably based on destination, length and program type, and funding resources may be available.
Explore scholarships, financial aid, veterans benefits and other funding resources as you plan your experience abroad.
“Studying abroad raised my level of cultural awareness and opened my eyes to how businesses are run differently outside of the U.S.”
“Studying Abroad is a great time for self-reflection. You realize what's important to you, what isn't important to you, and what you want to gain in life.”
