Today, a university education is a global education. Studying abroad promotes cross-cultural understanding, broadens your worldview, and prepares 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 in many countries around the world. You can participate in different programs– International Exchange Programs or programs taught by Ohio State Faculty – or you can study overseas with students from other colleges and universities. You can earn academic credit that can fulfill major or minor requirements, or earn GEC, language or elective credits.

Study Abroad Coordinators are available in 100 Oxley Hall during walk-in advising hours, Monday through Friday, from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.

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 firsthand experience. You will visit new places, make new friends, learn a new language, and experience life in a new environment. Studying overseas offers you a different 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.
