Health and safety issues are two leading issues in today’s world. Abroadco takes the health and safety of all program participants very seriously. In addition to a special pre-departure handbook on health and safety issues while abroad, Abroadco provides all students with a personal pre-departure orientation and a comprehensive onsite orientation that includes this subject. All of our staff, both in the U.S. and abroad, is trained in our emergency procedures. You are encouraged to review the Abroadco Emergency Plan and contact us with any questions or concerns.

We encourage all students to visit the Department of State’s website:
