WELCOME!
You have found the Study Abroad Office at Oklahoma State University! The Study
Abroad Office coordinates student exchanges. Are you thinking about becoming an
exchange student at OSU? Please allow us to define how exchange students are different
from other international students.
DEFINITIONS
- International Students
-
Students wishing to obtain an OSU degree are considered “degree-seeking,
international students” who pay tuition and fees for international students.
If you wish to pursue an academic degree from OSU, you should visit the
Office of Admissions
homepage and the Office
of International Students & Scholars (ISS) homepage for further information.
If you are an OSU international student who would like to learn about opportunities
to study abroad, please visit our Prospective Participants page.
- Exchange Students
-
Exchange students plan to study at OSU for one semester or one academic
year, do not want to obtain their entire degree from OSU, and do not pay OSU
tuition and fees. They are seeking to experience life and culture in the
United States as a student, for only a short time. If you wish to be an
exchange student, please go to Steps to follow for Exchange.
