- Students are asked to complete a Program of Studies for Junior Year Abroad form (available in the Junior Year Abroad Booklet (PDF)), and bring it to the planning meeting with Maureen Raymond. The purpose of the meeting is to review the student's academic plan and obtain preliminary approval to apply for junior year abroad.
- The Lynch School of Education encourages students in teacher education majors to participate in an international pre-practicum. Students
interested in teaching abroad (doing a pre-practicum) at an approved site, are encouraged to sign up for an information session at the Office for Professional Practicum Experiences, Campion 106. The
following should be done at this office:
- Sign up for an Information Session on the poster outside of Campion 103.
- Plan to submit an essay and a check with your pre-practicum application at the end of the semester prior to your study abroad. A fee of $375 is required to cover supervisory expenses abroad.
EARLY PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL

Spring Break Policy and Site List regarding spring break options. - In
Senior year, students may opt to teach abroad in a variety of countries
at approved sites, in addition
