Tips for Planning Your Study Abroad Trips

If you are interested in studying abroad, plan your trips ahead of time, so that you can not only do more trips, but also do different kinds of trips.

• How to find a program

If you don't know which program you want to participate in, please either check our website at http://www.agstudyabroad.iastate.edu/programs.htm or come to the Agriculture Study Abroad office at 111 Curtiss to talk with us (about us). We will try our best to help you find the program that fits you the best.

Your advisor can help you decide which courses to take at another university as well as providing you with information on credit-transfer possibilities.
