Your academic advisor should be aware of your intention to incorporate a Global Learning degree. You'll need to ask them questions like:
- How will studying abroad would fit into your degree?
- When you can go abroad in your degree?
- What type and level of courses should you take abroad in order to meet your degree requirements?
Contact your advisor before applying so you have a good understanding of everything that could factor into your choice of program and when you might go abroad.
Your program might be a competitive one!
You can apply to 3 programs at a time and rank them in your order of preference to be accepted.
