We are a team of experienced professionals with expertise in fields across the international education spectrum and a passion for global engagement.
Our dedicated staff and student peer advisors are here to assist and guide UT students, their family members and supporters, faculty and advisors, and returnees and alumni, as well as our colleagues from across the globe in developing programs and services that maximize a student’s learning experience abroad.
If you are a student interested in going abroad, we encourage you to first explore your options through our Programs Search portal or by speaking with one of our student Peer Advisors in the Resource Room 11am-5pm Monday-Friday.
After narrowing down your options, find direction by meeting with a Programs Abroad Coordinator during virtual drop-in advising from 1:30-4:30pm Monday-Friday.
