• Discover Study Abroad

    Discover Study Abroad (DSA) is a one-time, 30-minute session that provides an overview of Study Abroad in general and the steps you'll take to find and apply for the right international opportunity. DSA can now be completed two ways - via Zoom or via the ICON course.

    Option 1: Zoom session (synchronous)

    Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. (summer hours)

    Email study-abroad@uiowa.edu with the date you wish to attend and your UID number. The Study Abroad office will email you a confirmation. Five minutes before the session, you will receive an email with the Zoom meeting link included.
