With the European Union’s 27 countries agreeing to open their borders to vaccinated Americans this summer, the world is one step closer to the international travel that has been held at bay by the COVID-19 pandemic for over a year.
That pause included many study abroad programs and provided many challenges for international students attending American colleges. With the pandemic inching towards the finish line, schools like Arizona State University are moving forward with plans to get students traveling once more.
“ASU is moving forward with a fall send where possible,” an ASU spokesperson said regarding its study abroad programs. “There are currently about 150 ASU students confirmed for fall in-person programs.”
