Meet with an Advisor

Not sure what programs we offer or what is the best option for you?

• Attend an event or information session to explore and learn more about the different types of global opportunities available to Penn students. 

• Stop by our office during drop-in hours. This is an opportunity exclusively for students who have not yet selected a program or region of interest. You will be able to learn more and ask questions about a variety of global program options to meet your academic, personal, and professional interests.

An advising session is required before you can open an application. Advising for a semester abroad program is by academic discipline or by region.

• All students seeking Nursing or Engineering credit abroad must register for the advising session for their discipline.

• All students seeking College or Wharton credit abroad must register for an advising session by region.

Please follow the appropriate link below to schedule your advising appointment. Note that virtual advising is currently in place for all Penn Abroad advising appointments, as in-person advising is temporarily suspended until further notice. As you sign up for an appointment, note the instructions and options for connecting virtually. 

Still deciding or exploring Penn’s global opportunities? Visit our Why Go Abroad resources to get started in defining your goals and exploring your abroad program options. We offer drop-in hours exclusively for those who are just beginning to navigate the programs available and how to apply. If you have a question, please contact goabroad@upenn.edu.
