Factors to Consider When Selecting a Program

Every study abroad program offers different types of structure and support. It is important to ask yourself what you hope to get out of your study abroad experience and what you need to succeed. Consider some of the factors below before applying.

Independence

How do you feel about traveling alone to another country? Do you feel more comfortable traveling with a group? Do you look for more structure in a program or are you able to succeed with little support?

Problem-Solving Skills

Are you proactive and self-reliant in solving any issues you face? Do you look for help from others to solve an issue? Are you able to calmly face a problem or do you find it difficult to come up with a solution?

Adaptability

Are you interested in immersing yourself in a different culture? Are you looking for support in preparing yourself to live in and adapt to another culture? Can you be comfortable with a certain level of ambiguity about your program before your departure?

Which Program is Right for You?

Exchange Programs:

You will be in class and living with students from your host institution. Exchange programs may require a greater level of independence and the ability to be self-reliant. This program type may offer slightly less structure and require more adaptability, but will provide a deeper culturally immersive experience.

Faculty-Led Programs:

These programs are led and taught by ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø University faculty who are familiar with the location. You travel with a professor and a group of ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø students. These programs are very structured and offer various types of excursions and activities that relate to the courses you take while abroad.

Affiliated Programs:

You will likely be in class and living with other Americans from different universities. These programs offer structure and support that you can take advantage of when you need to, but also allow for some independence.

National Student Exchange:

Participating in a domestic exchange provides the opportunity to experience life outside of New Jersey and away from home. You will be in class and living with students from your host institution, either within the United States or in Canada, depending on the program. United States programs offer structure and support that you can take advantage of when you need to, but also allow for some independence. Programs in Canada may require a greater level of independence and the ability to be self-reliant, but will provide a deeper culturally immersive experience.
