International Programs
Study Abroad and Internships
As an SOU student, you have the opportunity to study on sponsored programs in over 20 countries, all around the globe. You can spend a summer, a quarter, or a whole year studying abroad. Most importantly, you’ll have a chance to experience a new culture, make new friends, and learn more about our world. Many study abroad programs do not require any previous foreign language study and students of all majors can participate. Other programs provide an opportunity for serious immersion and advanced language study. Program sites include Mexico, Australia, France, Ecuador, Germany, Ghana, Thailand, Japan, and many more! The classes you take abroad give you SOU credit and count towards your graduation requirements. Financial aid is available and some of the study abroad sites have a reciprocal agreement, allowing students to pay regular SOU tuition.
If you are interested in a different type of international experience, SOU also sponsors international internships. In an internship, you’ll receive both academic credit and work experience, all while living abroad. Past SOU interns have worked in places like Namibia, Ecuador, and Tanzania.
Contact our study abroad advisor to discuss your academic plans and budgeting. Study abroad…you’ll never regret it!
