In today’s global context, it is becoming increasingly crucial for all students to develop intercultural competency and awareness of global issues in order to find success after graduation. Participating in study abroad exposes students to new ways of viewing the world, lifelong friendships and memories, and a competitive edge in the job market through the development of cross-cultural communication skills and adaptability.
The Education Abroad Office at PSU is committed to diversifying the population of students that participate in education abroad programs. We are happy to provide support, guidance, and resources for every PSU student- from before you start your application to returning to Portland State. With over 200 programs throughout the world, it’s likely we have a program that fits your academic, personal, familial, or monetary circumstances. Studying abroad is for everyone!
