Schedule an Appointment

This is where Smeal students interested in studying abroad or in an international internship can schedule an appointment with an International Programs Coordinator.

Strickler Office of International Programs

Advising Appointments 

Our office offers both in-person and virtual advising appointments. BA and DUS students may schedule an online appointment via Starfish and then choose whether to meet with us in the Business Building or using Zoom. For instructions and access to Zoom  https://cmm.psu.edu/zoom/ 

BA and DUS students planning a Smeal College of Business major are welcome to meet with a Strickler International Programs Coordinator at any point in the Study Abroad process. If you have already met with one of our Coordinators, please continue to meet with the same person. Typical appointments are scheduled for thirty minutes. If you feel that you will need a longer time or you are going to bring a friend, please schedule two appointments in a row.

 If you experience technical difficulty with the above links, you can follow these steps:

  • Login to STARFISH >>> From top navigation bar use Services Catalog 
  • Search: Smeal Office of International Programs.
  • Use the Service Calendar to check for available time with any of our advisers. Alternatively, if you have met or wish to meet with a particular adviser, click on "Schedule an Appointment" next to that adviser's name to schedule directly with them.
  • This generates an appointment confirmation email to your @psu.edu with the meeting details, a URL and phone number. At the time of your appointment, click on the link you were emailed to enter the Zoom waiting room. If you prefer to just use phone, or need it for audio, the number is also in the email.
