An unforgettable experience

At OSU, Study Abroad participation is not a luxury for a small group of elite students. It is a pivotal experience that we encourage all students participate in to succeed in the 21st century.

Programs

Study Abroad programs are available for all majors and range in length from a spring break abroad to a year-long experience. You can travel with OSU faculty and students in your major, or you can create your own experience with one of OSU’s 55+ international partners (in 30 countries). Study abroad is a great way to learn more about your academic and professional interests on a global scale.

Funding Study Abroad

We provide nearly $1 million in scholarships for students studying abroad each year. Helping students achieve an international experience is a key priority for OSU leadership. Many international programs will allow you to use your normal OSU scholarships and federal financial aid to fund your trip. The Study Abroad team is committed to assisting you in finding the funding you need to make this dream a reality.

More Than Just a Trip

Students who studied abroad were twice as likely to find a job quickly following the completion of their college studies.

Nearly 60% of employers consider study abroad to be a valuable asset for an individual's career path.

College graduates who studied abroad see a 25% higher average starting salary than those who did not study abroad.

Burns Hargis supporting our international community

"It has never been more important for students to gain an international perspective and understanding in today's interconnected global economy. We encourage all students to pursue a study abroad opportunity that immerses them in different cultures and provides a learning experience of a lifetime. Whatever career they pursue, study abroad enriches and expands a student's Oklahoma State University education."

"Having the opportunity to participate in the National Student Exchange was an experience of a lifetime. While being on a beautiful island, I was able to not only take courses that pertained to my marketing major, but also courses unique to the University of Hawaii. I would recommend NSE to any student who has a heart for exploring and is looking to learn outside their comfort zone."

"Not only did I get to experience the culture and discover the rich history of France. I was also able to learn about the problems engineers face in different parts of the world and how they apply technology to come up with solutions. This course sparked my interest in other cultures and reinforced my passion for STEM"

"I think my favorite experience was having a kimono sensei take me in under her wing and teach me all the things she could about kimono and the life of living in Japan. It was simply a beautiful and invaluable experience."
