In the College of International Studies, we bring the world to our students – but we also encourage our students to explore the world. Study abroad and away programs offer a learning experience that can't be replicated in a classroom: one of engaging with new cultures, grappling with diverse perspectives, stepping outside of your comfort zone and truly growing as a person and global citizen. Over 30% of OU students engage with global opportunities all over the world each year, and through scholarships and unique program offerings, CIS does everything we can to make this life-changing opportunity possible for our students.
