Advising

Study Abroad Advising is only part of the information you will need to investigate before you make your decision. Your Academic and Major Advisors should always be consulted in order to be as prepared as possible.

Study Abroad Information Sessions

Information Sessions are designed to provide students with general information about study abroad. This half hour will cover the "big picture". Students will gain an understanding of their program options. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for students to discuss more specific questions about JMU Programs & External/Exchange Programs.

Attendance at an Information Session is recommended for general information and is an important first step in studying abroad.
