What an OSU GO Supported Program Means for You
OSU fully supports participation in education abroad programs that have been reviewed by the OSU GO Advisory Group to ensure a high quality experience and the safety of all participants. This extensive review process guarantees that our students will earn OSU resident credit by participating on these programs. Additionally, fully supported education abroad programs are the only programs that students can finance by accessing their OSU financial aid. While some programs may originate from OSU and others are offered by distinct program providers, only programs appearing on the OSU GO website qualify as fully supported by OSU.
OSU Faculty-Led Programs
If you are interested in an international experience led by OSU faculty and in the company of fellow OSU students, consider a faculty-led program. Faculty-led programs offer students the opportunity to pursue coursework in specific areas of study and for periods of time developed around OSU's academic calendar. Faculty-led programs are great matches for students looking for more support while abroad, and for those who have limited or no foreign language background.
OSU University Exchanges
If you are seeking a study abroad experience that is highly independent and culturally immersed, an exchange may be right for you. Exchange participants enroll directly at one of our partner universities and take classes with local students. Instruction is generally in the language of the host country. Some partner institutions are in English-speaking countries while others offer courses in English.
