International Study Opportunities

Today, a university education is a global education. Study tours/study abroad programs promote cross-cultural understanding, broaden your worldview, and prepare you for your future. We are committed to making overseas study accessible to every Ohio State student who seeks this experience. Students at all levels of study, undergraduate or graduate, and in any major can study abroad.

Programs range from a few weeks up to a year and can be completed in many countries around the world. Study abroad is a life changing experience. Living and studying in a foreign country provides an extraordinary opportunity for you to learn about another culture from first–hand experience. Studying overseas offers you a unique perspective on global events and prepares you for a lifetime of learning. At the same time, you can impact the lives of those you meet and build lifelong ties and friendships. We encourage you to meet this challenge and gain the experience of a lifetime.

You must plan ahead for academic travel opportunities in order to know how to finance your trip and studies, meet application deadlines, and plan travel accommodations. For more information, see the Office of International Affairs at: oia.osu.edu/units/global-education/
