Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I want to study abroad - where do I begin?
We recommend starting where you are! Our website is a great resource for program information.

We suggest you also begin with an advising session. Meeting with CGE faculty can help you to determine the type of program which will best suit your needs, guide you in your research of programs, clarify the policies and procedures, aid you in the completion of required application forms, and give you a chance to ask questions you may have. We can also provide you with the names of students who have participated in the program in which you are interested to learn about their experiences.

Schedule an advising appointment by contacting the Center for Global Education at [email protected], or 973-408-3438.
