Follow these steps to start your journey today!
Review our ÑÇÖÞɫͼ brochures and fall in love with a ÑÇÖÞɫͼ, a course, or a location!
Take a look at our current to see what is scheduled to depart in the next 18 months. You can search by ÑÇÖÞɫͼ length, ÑÇÖÞɫͼ type (faculty-led vs. exchange), field of study, and so much more!
Our ÑÇÖÞɫͼ brochures are grouped into three main categories:
- ÑÇÖÞɫͼ State Faculty-Led Programs: these are MSU "in-house" ÑÇÖÞɫͼs that feature MSU courses taught by MSU faculty. Only MSU students are eligible to participate in these ÑÇÖÞɫͼs. MSU Faculty-Led Programs are denoted with an asterisk (*) and are listed at the top of the brochure page. This also includes our , which is available to all ÑÇÖÞɫͼ applicants for all ÑÇÖÞɫͼ types.
- Exchange Programs: these are for study abroad exchange ÑÇÖÞɫͼs with our educational partners across the globe. For example: if you're interested in studying at Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan or Chonnam National University in South Korea, these are the ÑÇÖÞɫͼ brochures for you. Exchange Programs are denoted with a hyphen (-) followed by the exchange university's name (-Doshisha University).
- Third-Party Provider Programs: these are brochures for study abroad ÑÇÖÞɫͼs run by our third-party providers. These providers include: CCSA, (Univ of Evansville), GLO (formerly IBS), KIIS, , CEA CAPA, (UW-River Falls) ISA, TEAN (World Strides), and USAC. These ÑÇÖÞɫͼs are listed alphabetically by provider and follow the MSU Faculty-Led and Exchange ÑÇÖÞɫͼ brochures.
Attend an open advising session
If you have general questions about studying abroad or don't know where to start your search, come to one of our open advising sessions. These sessions take place during the school year every Monday at 3pm and Thursday at 11am in 135 Blackburn Science Building. You can drop by one of these sessions at any stage of the application process. No appointment needed.

Meet with an Education Abroad Advisor
If you need help narrowing down your options or have specific concerns not covered in open advising, consider meeting with the Education Abroad Advisor.
Before your advising appointment, please do the following:
-
Familiarize yourself with available ÑÇÖÞɫͼs - use the website to identify which ÑÇÖÞɫͼs you might be interested in discussing with the advisor. You should consider ÑÇÖÞɫͼ location, length, timing, and available courses when researching ÑÇÖÞɫͼs. It is also important to factor in how your major or minor would benefit from such a course or ÑÇÖÞɫͼ.
-
Limit your options - select a few ÑÇÖÞɫͼs that interest you and appear to fit your academic and personal requirements. Think about any personal goals you may have for your study abroad experience, such as obtaining language fluency.
When you're ready to discuss your options, reach out to our office to set an appointment with the Education Abroad Advisor. Please include a short list of possible ÑÇÖÞɫͼs in your email so our advisor can prepare any relevant information prior to your appointment.
