STUDY ABROAD FOR CLAS STUDENTS

Major Advising Pages (MAPs) are designed to motivate students to frame their study abroad experience from an academic perspective. Through a series of discussions with departmental chairs, MAPs have been created to assist CLAS students in choosing a study abroad program that best fits the goals of their major.

The MAPs are not exhaustive. If a program is not listed for a specific major, it does not limit eligibility to participate in that program. Students should discuss their specific interests with their OEA adviser for additional guidance on choosing an appropriate program.

Students should review the Study Abroad Requirements and CLAS Policies and Limitations prior to program selection.
