“I chose to study abroad because I've always had a desire to travel to Africa and help others. I am interested in getting my master's in Public Health as well as joining the Peace Corps so it was a great way to dip my foot in the water. On the program, we used geographic information systems to map the refugee camp which is a great tool that I may use in future work. This was the first time I have traveled outside of the United States and it really opened my eyes up to new culture.”

Planning ahead is important. It is suggested to plan between six months to one year in advance to ensure proper academic, financial and application planning.
