Prepare for ADVENTURE!
You have made to decision to study abroad, GREAT! Your next step is to complete the Program Interest Profile (PIP) Form on Study Abroad TigerLink site.
Next, you will want to register on TigerLink to attend the scheduled Study Abroad Sessions hosted by Stacey Lang, Study Abroad Coordinator. Study Abroad Sessions are information sessions to find out about programs offered, application & timeline, scholarships, international travel and so much more! Attend these sessions to get all your questions answered! Dates are listed on the Events and Deadlines site.
During the Study Abroad 101 Session, students who are interested in stepping out of their comfort zone and are ready to take that first step will learn how to get started. Students will learn the specifics about the program they are interested in whether that be an international exchange, a national exchange, a semester or year at one of our Program Partner Universities, or maybe a Summer Internship. Whatever your goals and aspirations are, we can help make the dream of study abroad come true!
We will get students started with their applications and answer all questions about the process. We have many options at FHSU--we will help guide students in choosing the program that is best for them. Our goal is to have a student Tiger Ambassador at each one of our sessions to give you a firsthand account of their personal journey and experience with Study Abroad. Study Abroad 101 is your first step to the OTHER SIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE! Before coming to Study Abroad 101 make sure to complete the Program Interest Profile on our Tiger Link page:

Students attending Study Abroad 201 have made the commitment to study abroad for the following academic year. This is a very important session! We will discuss what the next step is for you to start preparing to leave the state or country. There are many important items for students to know and prepare in advance before embarking on their adventure. For example, applying for a passport and visa, applying for scholarships, getting coursework approved, and creating a financial budget. All of these items are a crucial part of the Study Abroad process. Come GET IN THE KNOW at Study Abroad 201!
Study Abroad 301 is a celebration of your final countdown to departure! Those attending Study Abroad 301 are just a few weeks or months away from the adventure of a lifetime! Before you depart, we will discuss the day to day survival in another country, how to pack efficiently, what to take with you, how to get through airport security and customs, and many other items on our pre-departure check off list. We will also discuss important topics including booking your airline tickets, finalizing your housing arrangements at your Host University, managing your money abroad, paying your fees to FHSU, and completing all the required documents for FHSU before you leave. Let’s start the countdown to ADVENTURE in Study Abroad 301!
All Students participating in a Faculty Led short-term program during the summer are encouraged to attend a Study Abroad 301 Session.
