Study Abroad Compass is an initiative created by Study Abroad, aiming to bridge together the different phases of studying abroad (i.e. advising, recruiting, pre-departure, studying abroad, re-entry to campus) so they become connected and integrated into a seamless experience. Since your experience of studying internationally is a journey, the Study Abroad Compass will help guide you, providing directions along the way in engaging, informative, and innovative ways. At the moment, Study Abroad Compass has two available initiatives.
