How do I determine the quality of a non-UM abroad program?
You have several ways of determining the quality of a study abroad program. Although the advisors in our office are familiar with many study abroad programs, it is impossible to know them all. Therefore, we suggest that you call the Study Abroad Office and ask for the names of past participants who would be willing to talk to you about their experience with the program. You may also reference our notebook of student comments and program evaluations in the Study Abroad Library in 359 Martindale. If you’re considering a non-UM program you should also verify that your program is through an accredited university, or that an accredited university will offer a transcript for your program. Finally, you may find information in a book we keep in our Study Abroad Library on the best study abroad programs. The most important thing about a study abroad program is that it fits your needs.
