Explore the world. Discover yourself.
The University of Southern Indiana offers study abroad opportunities in more than 60 countries around the globe. With advance planning, it is possible for students in virtually any major to participate in an overseas program. Programs offer a variety of experiences, from specialized courses taught entirely in English to direct enrollment in the foreign university. Students receive USI credit for the coursework completed during the summer, semester or academic year at an approved USI study abroad location.
Financing study abroad
The University is committed to making studying abroad affordable, as well as accessible, to all students. The costs of some USI study abroad programs are based on tuition, room and board at USI. Since participants pay program fees to USI and receive USI credit, they can continue to apply their scholarship and other financial aid towards those fees.
Additional scholarships for study abroad are available through the Center for International Programs.
Why study abroad?
Ashley Fancher
Country: South Africa
Major: International Studies
"I really want to work internationally, mainly with the UN. I would love to work with kids, so while I was there, I got to work in a township through an English literacy program for kids. We tested them at the end of four months, and all of them had done so much better than when they started."
Monika Wathen
Country: China
Major: Psychology, Spanish
"You can learn a language in a classroom, but you don't get the conversational experience that you get while studying abroad. I'll use my study abroad experience by constantly speaking in the languages I learned. With Spanish, I continue to help out with a program called EDUCA, which is where I help people who don't speak that much English. With Chinese, I talk to a lot of Chinese students at USI."
Jordan Holl
Country: Japan
Major: Biology (Pre-Med), International Studies
"The biggest way my Japanese trip changed me was I became a lot more self-reliant, I would say. It was also a great way to meet people from around the world and to experience different cultures."
