Welcome to the Office of International Programs at the School of Arts and Sciences.  The Office of International Programs (OIP) focuses on facilitating international and global engagement through research, curricular and co-curricular activities. We bring international perspectives to the SAS community through region specific centers and study programs, faculty international expertise and research, and international collaborations.  SAS faculty members have explored complex global issues that span the disciplines and connect them with colleagues and institutions across the globe.  These areas of expertise and research strengthen and deepen the overall global and international impact of the SAS at home and abroad.

In any given year the SAS offers an array of international courses, experiences, and exchanges opening a wide spectrum of opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.  SAS supports the University’s mission of enhancing study abroad programs and expanding opportunities for international research internships, externships, service learning, and community outreach.  As students today will seek careers in the global workforce with governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, higher education, private sector, and not-for-profit, the OIP works to develop and promote interdisciplinary courses and projects that have a global or international focus and that prepare students for careers in a globally oriented workforce and as citizens with international awareness and sensibilities.

Among most recent SAS international initiatives are:

• Resistance: Globalization and its Other -  a 2007-2008 lecture series, discussions with graduate students, and film series for undergraduate students (co-organized and co-supported by several other units across university).
• Junior Faculty Research Award.
• University Exchange Agreement with the Free University of Berlin.
• International Service Learning programs in Costa Rica and Bolivia.

Please visit our website to learn more about upcoming events, to locate a faculty member with a particular expertise through the searchable database, or to identify funding opportunities. Let us know if we can help you in any other way.

Sincerely,

Dean, International Programs
