How We Help What UT BBA International Programs does to help prepare
students:
Prior to departure:
- One-on-one advising, including personal, academic and career
goals, and financial issues.
- Acceptance Packet with a checklist of all of the things they
need to do, advice from past students, contact lists of UT
and international students, host school information
including websites and program dates, emergency contact
information, health and safety materials.
- Two pre-departure meetings:
- Study Abroad Connection—your child will meet UT students who
have already studied at the same host university, exchange
students from the host university who are currently at UT,
and the other UT students who will study at the same host
university.
- Pre-departure Workshop—A discussion of safety/health,
culture shock, practical travel information, administrative
questions, credit and grade information, and securing
pre-approval for their study abroad courses.
- The host university sends students information regarding
their application procedure, course selection, any possible
housing assistance, and contact information.
While students are abroad:
- Orientation upon arrival at the host university.
- UT BBA International Programs maintains email communication
to help ensure the proper and timely transfer of credit, and
to keep your student abreast of what they need to do to
register for the following semester’s classes (when they’re
back at UT). We are here if they have any questions or
concerns.
- Mid-semester check-in with all students to see if there are
any issues or problems with which they need assistance.
Our support extends to students’ return to UT Austin:
- Post-program evaluation.
- Re-entry Session—Discuss their experiences abroad, as well
as any concerns they had regarding safety/health, the onsite
orientation, course registration, the teaching/grading
styles, housing, traveling, transferring credit, reverse
culture shock, and advice on how to use their study abroad
experience to help with their resume and job interviews.
They also provide feedback on how they think we can improve
what we tell future students.
- Meet individually to discuss courses, grades, and process
study abroad credit.
