Application Instructions: 

If you are applying to a Pitt-recognized program (PRP), you must work concurrently on the internal Pitt application that you create at www.globalexperiences.pitt.edu and on your program provider’s application through their respective websites. You can’t move forward without completing both applications. While program providers’ application deadlines are often later than our internal Pitt deadline, you have to finish the Pitt application’s pre-decision steps by our internal deadline. A Pitt GEO Advisor will ensure that both your GPA and your disciplinary record allow your status to be changed to “nominated” on your Pitt application.  The actual acceptance to your PRP comes from the provider only after you are nominated by Pitt. 
 
Once you have been accepted by Pitt, you will be directed to apply to HM Munich's site by early March.
 
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FINISH THEIR APPLICATION by their deadline.
 
Reach out to your Pitt GEO Advisor with any questions. We are here to help!
