Two major obstacles to ONU students considering studying abroad◦ Choice overload (see the map http://onu.abroadoffice.net)

Identify priority programs and build familiarity Include study abroad in curriculum maps for each major

◦ Cost Identify cost-effective programs Increase use of semester programs Establish useful exchanges

◦ Others?

Integrating study abroad courses into the curriculum for each major can reduce choice overload◦ Identify at least 2 study abroad programs for each major that

include appropriate courses for the major, including Gen. Ed. 1 English speaking location 1 non-English speaking location

◦ Clearly show how it fits in the schedule Which year (Sophomore or Junior) and semester (Fall or Spring)? Identify course equivalencies (or elective credit) Note: a Gen. Ed. tag is waived for each 6 credits
