Steps to Going Abroad for Gordon College Students

Step 1: Review approved programs and meet with advisor
Review approved programs for your major. Then determine how study abroad fits into your four-year plan and which course requirements you might need to fulfill while abroad by meeting with your advisor.

Step 2: Select a Program
Confirm that you meet the program requirements.

Step 3: Submit a Seat Application
Complete the application online on Horizons. Once you apply, wait to hear from the GEO on approval and program costs (you will hear back a few weeks after the application due date).

Please note: You may not apply directly to a program until you have been approved by the GEO to study abroad.
