Diversity Abroad
Students of Diverse Racial Backgrounds
The Oklahoma State University Center for Global Learning is committed to working with students from diverse racial backgrounds, who have been historically underrepresented in study abroad programs. Through our office, we hope to provide essential advising, tools, and resources to help you make the most of your study abroad experience!
Our office works closely with the Office of Multicultural Affairs to prepare you to study abroad. Members of both offices will work with you to promote cultural development, explain potential attitudes of local citizens, and provide resources to facilitate a successful time abroad.
DiversityAbroad.com has fantastic resources for racial and ethnic minorities abroad. The Plato Institute also provides ample literature on supporting diversity abroad.
Resources for specific populations and racial/ethnic groups, as well as general information, and testimonials can be found within these links.
