Welcome to Education Abroad Advising, a NAFSA e-Learning course for education abroad advisers. In this course, you will be introduced to the key concepts and resources you need to successfully navigate the responsibilities of an education abroad adviser.

Education abroad is an evolving field. The adviser is required to support a wide variety of student needs throughout their education abroad experience. This six week, self-paced course guides you through the demands often faced throughout the education abroad cycle, providing you with best practices, and tools to use in your own advising practice. 

Course Objectives:

• Adapt your advising strategy to meet the changing needs of your education abroad students through six programmatic stages
• Address advising situations that advisers commonly encounter in their day-to-day work
• Work efficiently, effectively, and collaboratively to support education abroad student needs within your organization and the program destination

Interacting with Your Course Facilitator:
Your e-Learning Course Dean, Whitney Longnecker, will be with you throughout your entire e-Learning Course. To get the most out of this course, it is your responsibility to ask questions and pose ideas on the discussion boards for your facilitator and others to respond to. Please also take the initiative to respond to others’ posts as well.

Modules and Learning Outcomes:
Seven self-paced modules guide new education abroad professionals through a learning process of education abroad basics, eliminating the need to learn through trial and error. Glossaries, frequently asked questions, a companion workbook, and self quizzes are also included. In addition, you will learn where to find and access key resources to continue your learning after the conclusion of the course.
