Study Abroad
Follow the steps and Study Abroad!
Study Abroad with Oregon Tech partnerships
Requirements:
Find the program that is the best fit for you and your degree program.
Complete the required steps (including an electronic form which authorizes the study abroad)
Submit your final transcripts to an international transcript evaluator so that courses can be applied to your degree (expect approximately $200 per transcript evaluation)
Option 1: Study on a faculty-led program!
Oregon Tech faculty members are creating opportunities all across the globe! Watch your email for announcements about classes that are being offered by our faculty and sign up for an experience. Some of these are collaborative opportunities with another institution. Some of these are managed completely by Oregon Tech.
Option 2: Study with a partner program!
Our partner programs have fully developed and supported study abroad programs, exchange partnerships, and international internships that are available to Oregon Tech students. The advantage of participating in a partner study abroad or international internship is that they help you plan your courses, plan your travel, make housing arrangements, and help connect you with the university abroad. You will continue to be enrolled at Oregon Tech while you are away and any Financial Aid awards you have can be applied to courses required for your degree program!
Option 3: Find your own experience!
Oregon Tech students are encouraged to explore the world and find a program abroad that is right for you. If you find a study abroad program or would like to take classes at an international institution, contact us and we can talk through what you will need to do in order to transfer your coursework into Oregon Tech upon your return.
