Study Abroad

Study abroad is one of the best ways to gain an in-depth experience of another country and culture, and you can also get credit towards your degree while doing so.

If you are considering studying abroad, there are many U-M Study Abroad Resource Offices that can help, starting with the U-M International Center's Education Abroad Office and the Office of International Programs (OIP) .

The International Center's Education Abroad Office provides a central source for finding study abroad opportunities through all U-M units, as well as through other institutions. This office also provides a peer advisor service, staffed by U-M students who have extensive experience studying and working abroad and are trained to offer guidance and tips to help you select a study abroad experience that best meets your interests. Contact the Education Abroad Office by calling the U-M International Center or icoverseas@umich.edu.

The Office of International Programs (OIP) administers the largest number of U-M sponsored study abroad programs. Undergraduates especially will want to consider OIP programs.

The University of Michigan offices that offer study abroad programs include the short-term Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU) program; programs available to all students through the University's area-studies centers and language departments; and programs for students in specific U-M Schools and Colleges such as those for Art and Design, Architecture and Urban Planning, Business, Engineering, Law, and the various health professions.
