The Office of International Affairs (OIA)

The heartbeat of our work is elevating the international character of the university. We do this through facilitating global learning and research collaborations with campus and international partners; championing all OIA units and campus partners in their endeavors to integrate global learning into the curriculum; and promoting safety and security during international study and work travel.

Education Abroad (EA)

EA provides students with credit-bearing and culturally-immersive study abroad programs that complement the curricula of university academic units, while also developing our students’ intercultural and solution-focused skills to help shape their journey to become effective citizens, professionals and human beings. 
 

Global Learning Initiatives (GLI)

Through this office, we help academic units to integrate global learning modalities into their curricula. Our expertise includes strategic planning, advising, workshopping and design sprints. 

International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS)

From pre-arrival to departure, we support international students and scholars with global mobility by obtaining and maintaining immigration status, and providing support for cultural adjustment and community building.
