Undergraduate Study Abroad

First Generation Students

As a first generation student*, you may be the first person in your family to be presented with the opportunity to study abroad. Speak with a study abroad advisor about your plans for study abroad and any questions you have.  

* "The term ‘first-generation college student’ is defined as a student whose parents or guardians did not complete a four-year college education, within or outside of the United States. At the U-FLi Center we encourage students to think of the term more broadly and welcome any student who self-identifies as having limited exposure to the college application process and the college-going experience."Brown Undocumented, First-Generation College and Low-Income Student Center (U-FLi Center)
