Kansas State University

Congratulations!

Your son or daughter is embarking on an incredible journey rich in personal, professional and academic rewards that will last a lifetime. We know how hard this may be for you as you send your son or daughter to live in a culture you may not have experienced yourself. Your reservations are quite normal and to be expected. Your child’s upcoming adventure is something new and different from what he or she has ever experienced before.

This Study Abroad Handbook for Parents has been designed to help parents understand the step-by-step process of study abroad at Kansas State University. It also includes useful information about the stages of adjustment students encounter while abroad and answers to frequently asked questions.

The Study Abroad Office believes that each student is ultimately responsible for his or her experience abroad. This encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including meeting deadlines, advance preparation, personal safety and being a responsible representative of K-State and the United States. The Study Abroad Office is here to guide your son or daughter through the process. Your support throughout the entire process is extremely important as well.

K-State has people and offices that are here to help you and your child. Please feel free to contact the following people or offices with your questions or concerns.
