College of International Studies

The University of Oklahoma has opened two new International Study Centers in Puebla, Mexico and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Along with our popular Italian center in Arezzo, Italy,  these destinations will provide exciting opportunities for OU students to study abroad with OU professors and take OU courses taught in English at a cost comparable to spending a semester on campus.

From guest speakers, to food festivals, career prep and even a Thunder game for international students, the College of International Studies has a vibrant variety of student activities.

IAS students are served by an award-winning academic advising team comprised of Malin Collins, Katie Watkins and CIS Advisor Tracy Holloway.

The Virtues of Study Abroad, is a publication designed to showcase the merit of Study Abroad programs - especially how they contribute to the personal growth of students. The following student works are intended to highlight the various personal characteristics that emerge and are strengthened by an international educational experience. Participants were inspired to share what they value most about the opportunity to study abroad. They wrote about traits many other study abroad students also say they gain: confidence, perseverance, empathy, enthusiasm, perspective, understanding, open-mindedness, engagement, curiosity and respect.
