Istanbul: Update + Application
A full program information sheet and the application for the Istanbul program are now available. Take a look! An informational meeting will be held in early October to explain more of the details and to answer questions and concerns. The application is due November 1.
Download the Istanbul information sheet (PDF format)
To apply, visit Buckeye Link and select Study Abroad. Login with your OSU username and password. The application will appear and pre-populate your personal information.
The first question asks "What term do you want to study abroad?" Select Winter 2010.
The second question asks for the program. Select HNRSCH ARC.
Please note that the Personal Statement requires three parts, as documented in the information sheet. I'd recommend writing this in a Word document and then copying/pasting into the study abroad application.
First year students do NOT need to submit an Advising Report. No one needs to submit a reference.
All study abroad applications require a $150 fee to be paid at the time of application.
All that being said, I'm ready to hop on a plane to Istanbul. How about you?
