How to apply to study abroad

Apply through the Salukis Abroad Portal!  For most faculty led programs, you will complete one application through the Salukis Abroad Portal.  For most other programs (exchange, direct enroll, partner, and some faculty led), you will need to complete an application through the Salukis Abroad Portal AND a second, external application.  Reach out to our office with questions when you are ready!
