Education Abroad Deadlines

Get ready to discover your world! Researching study abroad options as early as possible will allow you to choose a program that fits your academic and personal goals, and provide time to complete application prerequisites.

Application deadlines vary by program, so it is important to plan well in advance. There are a number of financial aid and scholarship opportunities as well, all with set deadlines. The earlier you start planning, the more options you will have!

Study Abroad Interest Sessions

Set up a time to attend an interest session and start planning your adventure today!

Please Note: You are REQUIRED to attend an interest session before you apply to a program through the ETSU Study Abroad Portal. However, if you are going to be going on an ETSU Faculty-Led trip it is not required as the faculty leader will likely have their own type of informational session.
