1. Attend Study Abroad 101

Sessions are presented by the Global Ambassadors or a member of the CGE staff and are meant to provide an overview of how study abroad works at Providence College. Topics discussed include eligibility, programs, cost considerations, scholarships, setting expectations, and much more.

There is always time available at the end of each session to allow for any questions. Study Abroad 101 is a great way to start getting answers for some of your general questions about studying abroad.
