Does IU offer any overseas study programs?
Studying abroad is a wonderful way to enhance the college experience, and IU is a leader in this area. According to the Institute of International Education, IU Bloomington ranks ninth among national research institutions in the number of students who study abroad. More than 1,800 IU students study abroad each year through more than 90 overseas programs in 39 countries, in 17 languages (including English), and in nearly every field of study. Yearlong, semester, and summer programs include the study of Renaissance art in Florence, international marketing in Denmark, and Japanese in Nagoya, to name just a few. IU’s Office of Overseas Study is staffed by professionals who help students select the programs that best suit their needs. Students do not need to be foreign language majors to participate. IU awards direct credit so that students can continue to make normal academic progress toward a four-year degree. Financial aid can be applied to program costs.
