These interview sessions are intended for students who are ready to apply and are an opportunity to learn more about the program and ask questions. Group interview sessions are held regularly at the IPD office, and you are encouraged to call and reserve a place in a timely manner. Non-Northwestern students and off-campus students may arrange for interviews via phone.
  3. Complete the Northwestern University Application for Permission to Study Abroad and submit it to the Study Abroad Office by February 15, 2012. If you are applying to an IPD program and a non-IPD program, you must apply by the regular deadlines set by the Study Abroad Office according to students' last names.
