All of our students have the opportunity to explore the world, immerse themselves in new cultures and study academically in a global context. We offer short-term and year-long options and work closely with students to find the best fit for their academic goals.

MSOE offers opportunities to study in a variety of locations – including Europe, Asia and Central America – that will combine academic theory with real world practice in an intercultural context while continuing to prepare you in your course of study. Studying abroad enhances your degree and increases your marketability in the workforce.

Long Term Global Opportunities

• Study Abroad:
  • Take classes in for a semester or year at a partner institution where the credits you take will transfer back to MSOE. All courses are instructed in English. 
  • Improve your knowledge of other cultures by living among and studying alongside students from another country.
  • Check the Study Abroad Programs by Major document to see which study abroad opportunities are available for your major and find out who to contact in your academic department to discuss which classes to take while abroad. 

A student enrolled in a study abroad program that is approved for credit by MSOE may be eligible to use their financial aid and scholarships towards studying abroad. All students pursuing a study abroad program should work with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Financial Aid to make sure all the necessary forms are completed.

Short-Term Global Opportunities

•  Faculty or Staff-led trips:  take a class at MSOE, earn credit and then travel with faculty members and classmates.
• Student Organization travel:  travel with MSOE student organizations on service learning trips. 

Short term opportunities occur during winter, spring, and summer breaks.
