The Office of International Affairs administers over 100 study abroad programs in more than 40 different countries. These programs give students an opportunity to become involved in cross-cultural interaction and enjoy a rewarding educational experience in fields from language studies to agriculture, engineering to business, and many more.

A variety of options is available to support and augment students' progress in their curriculum. There are short-term study programs in conjunction with an academic course to longer experiences such as quarter- to year-long stays in an international environment. Study Abroad coordinators and faculty resident directors help students learn about what programs are available in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, South America, Europe, and Africa; how to earn college credit; how to affordably finance their study abroad program; and what to expect when they arrive in another country and when they return home to Ohio State.
