When choosing a world-class institution, careful academic counseling and planning is essential to successful integration into non-American settings. Work with the International Program Development office as well as your school and departmental advisors, and follow up with your own research. This will make issues such as credit, cultural adjustment, and course selection work for you as an individual student. A high degree of independence and initiative are also qualifications for an exchange program, which often offers less structure and on-site support than other types of programs.Academic Specialties
