About the IIEPassport Study Abroad Directory
The IIEPassport study abroad directory has been the industry standard for more than sixty years, helping thousands of students identify and select study abroad programs.

The 2012 directory includes in one convenient volume both short-term and long-term programs and is divided usefully into four world regions: Asia & Oceania, Africa & the Middle East, the Americas, and Europe.

It contains thousands of study abroad program listings offered by U.S. and foreign universities and study abroad providers, along with key information on funding opportunities for study abroad experiences. In addition, the directory features content provided exclusively by the Forum on Education Abroad that includes key tips on how students can have a successful study abroad experience.

The recently revamped www.IIEPassport.org website allows students to search through thousands of programs, and offers numerous resources and guides to planning a successful study abroad experience. In addition, IIE is pleased to announce the launch of new IIEPassport Study Abroad Columns to help students throughout the entire study abroad process.

The columns are:

• "Stuff Your Study Abroad Adviser Says" by Ken Lewandoski of Appalachian State University
• "Pack Your Bags and Study Abroad!" by Colleen V. Tomanek of Harper College

These experienced columnists will be posting throughout the year on a variety of topics that are relevant to students who are applying for or currently on a study abroad program.
