University Information
The Center for Global Education administers over 120 programs in close to 50 countries around the globe. Participants in our programs earn Rutgers credits and grades for their studies, and continue to fulfill their major and minor requirements while abroad without lengthening the degree process. Academic advisors play a very important role in helping our students achieve success in their study abroad experience.
If you would like to learn more about our office, programs and/or procedures for studying abroad, feel free to schedule a “Study Abroad 101 for Advisors” session for your school or department. This is a 45-minute (one-hour) informational meeting to familiarize the Rutgers community with study abroad opportunities.
