Study Abroad

It’s an adventure, a personal challenge, a new culture, language and environment. You also fulfill academic goals while studying abroad.

Oh, the places you'll go!

Study Abroad

There’s a reason you can't stop talking about your study abroad experience after you've done it — a new culture, perhaps a new language, and relying on yourself to conquer a new environment. Spending time abroad also fulfills academic goals, and costs may be similar to your current term costs. We have 16 partner institutions around the globe that offer international academic experiences for our business and design majors.

Some of our opportunities are exchange programs (tuition is paid to OSU), while others are study-abroad programs (tuition may be paid to the host institution or a third party). Either way, you'll experience personal growth while learning about international business or design from faculty around the world.

OSU options

OSU GO

OSU GO (Office of Global Opportunities) is not a College of Business-supported program. However, you may very well be able to focus on earning OSU Bacc Core, minor or elective credits. Meet with your academic advisor to review how courses may or may not transfer into your degree program if you connect with an OSU opportunity.
