The University of Oregon has a proud history of offering enriching study abroad experiences in partnership with universities and providers all over the world. Each year, we welcome university students for a term and up to a year of liberal arts study on our campus, including business, economics, communication, and political science, with the possibility of creating a highly individualized and customized program for each partner university that can be language focused. The goal of the program is to integrate participants into the academic and social life of the campus and the community, making a smooth transition from English language and academic/cultural support to complete independence. All English levels are welcome.
