"Few experiences in life expand a student's perspective like a study abroad opportunity. Now more than ever, an understanding of other cultures is vital to thriving in our interconnected global economy. Regardless of their major of future career plans, a student benefits greatly from a study abroad program that enriches and expands their Oklahoma State University education. I encourage all students to pursue this opportunity that immerses them in different cultures and provides a transformative learning experience."

- OSU President Kayse Shrum

Why Study Abroad?

Studying away from Oklahoma can provide you with some amazing experiences. It provides ways for you to grow professionally in an academic setting. The expectation is that you will use your experience to prepare yourself to meet challenges and seize the opportunities of an increasingly global society. Students of all majors, levels of study, and financial backgrounds are able to study abroad.

Where Can I Go?

Oklahoma State partners with over 75 universities abroad for semester and academic-year exchanges. There are also hundreds of options for students looking for summer break, spring break, and winter intersession options. OSU also participates in the National Student Exchange, a consortium of more than 170 universities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Canada.
