The Forum on Education Abroad has developed a Code of Ethics for Education Abroad. In his statement about the Code, Forum President Brian Whalen states that the “Forum believes that the Code of Ethics will provide direction to institutions and organizations involved in education abroad and help ensure that students achieve the maximum benefit from their education abroad experiences. The Code should assist organizations as they seek to provide services in accord with the highest ethical standards, with the ultimate goal that students’ international educational experiences are as rich and meaningful as possible.”

The Code of Ethics will become part of the Forum’s Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad. On the Forum website it is noted that the Standards’ goal is to improve practices in education to ensure meaningful international educational experiences for students.
