Priority Deadline for BBA Study Abroad
For the BBA International Programs, March 1 is the priority deadline for the full next year (if that falls on the weekend, then the deadline is the following Monday). The application deadline for students who want to study abroad on a BBA Exchange for Fall 2009, Summer 2009, and Spring 2010 is March 2, 2009 .
What does this
mean for you?
It means that you will have to plan ahead if you want to study
abroad in the spring. You will need to gather information, research
programs, meet with a BBA International Program advisor, and
complete your application in time for this deadline.
Why is the spring deadline so early?
We actually do this to make
it easier on the students who want
to study abroad in the spring!
Before, spring students applied in
October, and so only had November
and December to complete all of
their required forms and paperwork.
Visas alone can take up to 12 weeks
for processing, so this was a
difficult deadline for both the
host schools and the students.
Is there any
chance to submit a late
application for a spring program?
Yes - we will have a secondary
application deadline on October 1,
for programs that still have
openings available. These will be
advertised in late spring, and applications will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis.
So plan ahead, attend an information session, meet with an advisor, and remember the priority application deadline:
March 1, deadline for the following
fall and summer
March 1, priority deadline for the
following spring
