International Exchange and Study Abroad Programs

Through the OIA, IUP students may broaden their education by taking part in study abroad programs. The university administers some of these programs directly, while others are conducted in cooperation with the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP).

The office houses an exchange/study abroad resource library. Students seeking information on academic programs offered by educational institutions in this country and abroad are welcome to read the materials available in the office. Qualified students planning to travel or study abroad may also purchase the International Student Identity Card-good for discounts, identification, and insurance-in the Office of International Affairs.
