About the Office of Study Abroad

The Office of Study Abroad facilitates off-campus learning experiences that foster academic and personal growth and intercultural understanding; equipping students to thoughtfully engage and positively influence a diverse and increasingly connected world. We do this by:

  • Offering advising sessions to support you applying for a program just right for you.
  • Assessing and vetting all programs for academic rigor, cultural integration and safety standards. Only high-quality programs and trusted providers will be offered.
  • Partnering with faculty, departments and on-campus offices to continually offer new opportunities for studying abroad, making credit transfer go smoothly and making sure you have access to services and support whether you're far away or making the transition back to campus.
  • Hosting annual events to inform students of upcoming study abroad opportunities
  • Providing pre-departure support and orientations; we'll give you tools you'll need before you leave to have a great experience.
