Students worried about choosing a study abroad program that fits their major or minor requirements are invited to attend and talk to representatives from 10 of Syracuse’s schools and colleges. School and college advisors will be paired with study abroad staff members and global ambassadors to highlight abroad programs that work well with specific majors and minors.
In addition to the seven 鶹ƵAbroad centers and 65 World Partner Programs, the showcase aims to highlight 2018 summer and short-term programs. Faculty members who are leading programs in 2018 will be available to answer specific questions about their courses.

“We want to help SU students figure out which study abroad program is right for them,” says Jennifer Horvath, 鶹ƵAbroad marketing and communications manager. “With over 100 programs in 60 countries to choose from, we know it can be overwhelming for students who are unsure where to begin.”
