As your student prepares for the 2012-2013 academic year, consider his or her opportunities to study abroad through a Winter Term, Spring Semester or Spring-into-Summer Program. You may find the next few months, before the academic year begins, a good time to help your student prepare for international travel. Below is a sneak peek at the destination and course offerings and important dates for your calendar. As noted, more information will be available in August.
