Start with your goals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Studying abroad begins with identifying your goals, choosing a program and location that will allow you to meet those goals, and identifying the quarter(s) you would like to and are able to participate in.<\/p>\n<p>You may be tempted to begin your study abroad plan designed around a particular\u00a0<i>place<\/i>. We encourage you to think differently. Likely, the first place that comes to mind when you consider studying abroad does not connect with what you are hoping to gain from your study abroad experience. Instead, try reflecting on these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Do I want to improve my language abilities?<\/strong> (If so, look for programs that have intensive language programs, offer courses in the target language if you are an advanced speaker, and offer homestay options with families to increase language immersion. Think about the language variety that most matches up with your future communication needs&#8211;and choose a program where this is the dialect\/form of language you will be using.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Do I want to give myself an edge in preparing for my career?<\/strong> (If so, look for programs that offer an internship in place of one of the courses you will take. Consider countries that are still in development where you can truly use the skills you have learned and can gain unusual insights into how other systems operate.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Do I want to add elements to my coursework that I won\u2019t be able to gain at EWU?<\/strong> (If so, study the course catalog offered by different programs and look for courses that add something unique, valuable and interesting to your major or minor.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Do I want to connect with a heritage language or heritage culture?<\/strong> (If so, look for programs that are close to the language variety and cultural backgrounds that are a part of your family history as well as programs that support heritage-seekers.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"label":"Step 2: Choose Your Program","copy":"<p class=\"sub-header\">You have a range of options to choose from while studying abroad.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Direct Enrollment:<\/strong> Join a program at a university that is approved by EWU. You will work directly with the host university for the admissions process and enrollment. This is best for a student looking for complete immersion and independence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provider Programs:<\/strong> Join a provider program that can provide almost any kind of study abroad experience you can imagine. Provider programs are organizations that have an agreement with EWU. The provider acts as the liaison between EWU and host universities or organizations and provides continuous support for the students before and during their study abroad experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Faculty-Led:<\/strong> Led by EWU faculty or staff, EWU students travel together to complete a course overseas. These programs are typically 3-weeks or less, and there are fewer options to choose from.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exchange:<\/strong>\u00a0Take part in a university exchange program. EWU has several university partners that allow a small number of students to be exchanged between the universities each year. These programs require being nominated by EWU, and you pay EWU tuition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internships:\u00a0<\/strong>Choose a virtual or in-person internship where you can gain real-world career experience that will give you an edge in your professional career.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n"},{"label":"Step 3: Meet with Advisors","copy":"<p><strong>Study Abroad Advisor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you need help finding a program or would like to know more about studying abroad, please contact our Study Abroad Advisor Isadora Anderson.\u00a0 You can visit her during her office hours or schedule and appointment via email: <a href=\"mailto:ianderson11@ewu.edu\">ianderson11@ewu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Office hours are in <strong>Patterson 345E<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mondays: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Tuesdays: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Thursdays: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/li>\n<li>Fridays: 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Academic Advisor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve selected a program, you\u2019ll also need to meet with your academic advisor.
