Why YOU should go abroad

Global Experiences provides you with an opportunity to engage College of Business topics while acquiring skills and knowledge to benefit you in your future career.

"In the College of Business, we ask our students to challenge themselves and to look to the future. One way for our students to make it matter is by participating in a Global Experience. Our signature and faculty-led programs provide impactful opportunities that prepare students for a global workforce, to ask bold questions, and encourages them to be inclusive."

-- Dr. Laurie Miller, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs and Curriculum

Academics

General Academic Advice

Academics are at the heart of the education abroad experience. Education abroad encompasses any type of overseas academic experience: from traditional classroom-based learning at a foreign university, to short programs led by UNL faculty or internship programs.

It is essential to plan ahead and incorporate your experience into your degree plan. Keep in mind that your academic advisor and college requirements are your primary resources for your academic questions and planning.

Students can complete their ACE 9 “Global Awareness and Knowledge” requirement through a UNL approved education abroad program. A minimum of 3 credit hours must be completed during the education abroad experience.

Meet with your Academic Advisor

You can schedule an individual appointment with any BASE academic advisor using the Student Success Hub system. An academic advisor will help you determine how specific Global Experiences credit will apply directly to your degree.

Key Questions to Ask Your Academic Advisor

  • What are my remaining degree requirements?
  • How many elective credits (lower vs. upper division) do I have left to complete my major?
  • What remaining prerequisites must I fulfill, and how will study abroad impact my progress? Do I need to take specific classes the term I am abroad in order to graduate on time?
  • Which of my remaining degree requirements could I complete abroad? Are there any that I cannot take abroad?
  • How many credits can I bring back toward my major/minor? Is there a residency requirement I need to be aware of before I go abroad?
  • Can I receive academic credit for an internship or research abroad?

Meet with the Global Experiences Office

Your Global Experiences Coordinator, Angela Luedke, can answer your questions about specific programs, talk you through the application process, and help you find funding resources. You can schedule an appointment using the Student Success Hub system.

Key Questions to Ask the Global Experiences Office

  • What are the eligibility requirements for my program(s) of interest?
  • What is involved in the application and preparation for my program(s) of interest?
  • What courses are available on my program? How does the transfer credit evaluation process work?
  • What is the cost of participating in my program(s) of interest? What do I need to consider in preparing an estimated budget for my program(s) of interest, and what expenses do I need to plan for up front?
  • Where can I find more information about scholarships and financial aid?
  • What type of support will be available abroad?
