Part of a well rounded education

includes the opportunity for students to study abroad. This is actually the one thing I wish I would have done during my undergraduate years. According to the Open Doors 2009 report by the Institute of International education, Miami University ranked 23^rd nationally among comparable universities in student’s participating in a study abroad experience.

In 2007-2008, Miami had 1,439 undergraduate students studying abroad. Students at Miami are really able to choose their own study abroad experience by visiting the Office of International Education, there students are asked about the type of experience they are looking for. For example: Do you want to be immersed in a specific culture? Do you want to learn a foreign language? Do you want to retrace family roots? Do you wish to have an international work experience or do you just want to achieve credits towards graduation?

In addition if the student’s preference of a study abroad experience is dependent on where they are going to live, the Office of International Education can help as well to find a great option for them, such as staying with a host family, living in a dormitory among other students from that university, or an apartment of their own.

No matter what type of study abroad experience you may be looking for, we will always try to find the best option for you, as a student. Feel free to visit http://www.units.muohio.edu/internationalprograms/studyabroadinfo.php for additional information on Study Abroad FAQ’s.
