Study Abroad Information Sessions
Information sessions provide a general overview of the study abroad programs available through the Office of Study Abroad Programs. You will learn about the different program types, how to select programs that have the coursework you need, how to find study abroad scholarships, and general applicability of UNLV financial aid to a study abroad program.
We offer virtual, asynchronous, and in-person options.
