Choose a professor whose research interests match your own and contact them directly. Give them enough time to consider the request. Generally, professors want to ensure a good fit and may ask to speak with you before making a decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"scriptor-paragraph\">Carleton International manages the internal review and submission of applications for research visits.
