Make sure you're prepared before you leave for your education abroad program so your experience is as safe and healthy as possible.
It's important to understand all of the health risks associated with your travel, to develop a plan to manage your health abroad, and to understand your international health insurance coverage.
We expect education abroad students to abide by the EA Statement of Responsibility, General Student Regulations, behavioral requirements established by your host institution or program director, and local laws. Learn more about these expectations and consequences should you fall short.
MSU does not permit education abroad programming in high risk destinations unless a waiver to the policy is obtained. As a student, you do not need to take any action to secure a waiver since that is done by your program leadership. However, you should be familiar with the policy and the health and safety considerations specific to high risk destinations.
