In today’s world, international experience and sophistication are increasingly important. As you consider study abroad, think carefully about your personal and academic goals. What do you hope to accomplish by the time you graduate? What skills and experiences would you like to acquire? Perhaps a term, year, or summer abroad is a fitting complement to your plans. If you choose to study abroad, you will be happy you did.

Don't delay - apply for your passport today!
The U.S. Passport Services Office is experiencing serious delays in processing the large number of applications they have received since the U.S. instituted new passport regulations earlier this year. Processing time for passports is currently 8-12 weeks or longer; for expedited service, it can take up to 2 months. If you do not yet have a passport, or need to renew your passport, and are planning on studying abroad in the fall or spring of 2007-08, I urge you to submit your application immediately , and pay the extra fee for expedited service (especially if studying abroad in the fall).
For information on applying for a passport and estimated processing times, visit http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html.
