Steps to Prepare

The following links give the specific step-by-step process for three different program groupings:

Texas A&M Faculty-Led Programs

Texas A&M Reciprocal Exchange Programs

Independent Study / Research / Outside Programs

Choosing The Right Experience Abroad
The first decision that you need to make is which type of program is best for you. Refer to the Programs page for information on the various types of programs offered. Most students at Texas A&M choose the faculty-led study abroad programs. However, depending on your interests, other opportunities may be more appropriate. By choosing one of the options above, you can find out more about specific preparation issues for the international experience that you seek.

Deadlines
Most of Texas A&M Study Abroad programs are offered on a "first come, first serve" basis, and many of these programs fill up quickly. Some, however, set deadlines for acceptance. If you are interested in being notified once applications become available for a particular program, be sure to sign up on the Interest List for that particular program.

Act quickly! If you are interested in studying abroad, begin exploring your options two semesters before you want to leave. This allows ample time for preparation and also to take full advantage of scholarship opportunities!
