- Meet with your department head or advisor to discuss study/research options.
- Write a statement describing the nature of the academic experience and the importance of this experience to personal development and career plans—no more than 2 pages.
- Provide a timeline of where you are going and what you intend to accomplish.
- Develop a budget estimating the cost of the trip (transportation expenses, lodging, registration fee, etc.)
- Print a copy of your transcript from my.butler.edu and append it to your statement.
- If applicable, supply documentation showing that what you intend to do is feasible (e.g., you have a letter from a research lab welcoming you to their lab/field station).
- For travel to non-English-speaking countries, verification of language proficiency is required. Language proficiency is defined as skill equivalent to that achieved after a minimum of two full years of collegiate study.
Apply by February 17. Bring the complete application package to the LAS Dean’s Office in Jordan Hall, Room 237.
At the completion of the study abroad experience, the student will submit a written report to the office of the Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences and be available to make an oral presentation to the Seitz family and the Butler community.
