Welcome to Education Abroad!
Despite being physically distant, we are still socially and globally connected. UConn’s Education Abroad advising team is always here for you!
If you are a student, faculty member, or staff member, please feel free to reach out to the Education Abroad Advisor for your school, department, or major. You may view our breakdown of advising areas under each Advisor’s profile below.
To ask general questions or speak with an advisor:
• Email us at abroad@uconn.edu
• Make an Appointment via Nexus below with your Education Abroad Advisor for a virtual meeting!
For all questions pertaining to a Spring 2020 program, e-mail abroad@uconn.edu or your Education Abroad Advisor directly.
Non-UConn students are welcome to make an appointment with an Advisor. Please e-mail abroad@uconn.edu to schedule a time to meet in person, by phone, or virtually.
