Members of the OIE work with students on all phases of the study abroad process, from researching and selecting programs that best suit their academic and personal interests and pursuits, providing support during their time abroad, to ensuring that their return to campus goes smoothly. Study abroad is an integral part of all students’ academic journey, where credit toward their concentration, secondary field, and/or language citations can be earned. Additionally, elective credit and divisional distribution requirements may be fulfilled while abroad.
