Study Abroad and Your U-M Degree

New Students:

Even though you are just beginning your Michigan degree program, it is never too early to start thinking about the possibility of study abroad. The University encourages study abroad as an integral part of the undergraduate experience. With careful, early planning, most students can easily fit overseas study into their college years without delay of graduation, and OIP staff are committed to helping them find the most suitable programs.
The University of Michigan offers a multitude of options to earn credit towards your LS&A degree while studying in a foreign country for a summer half-term, fall or winter semester, or even a whole academic year, not to mention various shorter-term possibilities. For information about these various opportunities, please explore the website of the Office of International Programs (OIP,) at www.umich.edu/~iinet/oip.
