Study Abroad Virtually
Even though students are not able to travel during this time, you can still engage with new cultures virtually.
Policy for UB Students Participating in UB & SUNY Virtual Programs
Students may choose to participate in virtual study abroad opportunities offered by Other SUNY campuses, but they can not concurrently enroll in an Other SUNY program and in regular UB courses in either the winter session or the semester. Students can not concurrently enroll in an Other SUNY and a UB study abroad opportunity in the semester.
Interested UB students are encouraged to make an appointment with Karen Joppe to discuss participation in a virtual program. Karen Joppe can be reached by email karentho@buffalo.edu or you may schedule an appointment via Navigate: Schedule an Appointment.
