Office of Learning Abroad

SUU's Office of Learning Abroad (OLA) provides numerous options for SUU students wanting to enrich their learning through study abroad. The office’s primary goal is to encourage and enable the entire SUU community–students, faculty, staff, and alumni–to experience the richness of other cultures, to honor diversity, to practice empathy, and to find personal fulfillment.

View our full mission, vision, and goals statements; learn about SUU’s Peace Corps Prep program; consider a Global Studies Minor degree; see SUU students' study abroad photos and blogs; become familiar with measures you can take to study abroad responsibly; or donate to improve and expand study abroad experiences for students.

We encourage all SUU students to check out our many STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIPS!
