Building upon Arcadia’s legacy of distinction in global education, we have created a range of programs to further the achievement of your educational goals.  

Most Arcadia students study at Arcadia centers or at select partner universities.  The steps below outline the process you will follow and will be covered in detail when you meet with your advisor. Consider planning a year in advance of the application deadline.  This allows ample time to formulate meaningful learning outcomes, explore a range of options, and consider timing and integration within your degree requirements.

1. Research your program options.
2. Consult with a Study Abroad Advisor. 
3. Consider the most appropriate term/s to study.
4. Review your academic plan and degree requirements.
5. Understand your program costs and scholarship opportunities.
