We Make Cross-Border Learning a Priority

Study abroad is a 4D signature experience that enables you to deepen and apply your thinking, reflect on your interests and goals, and gain new perspectives on education and life through a global experience. Through study abroad, you will grow across the four 4D dimensions, supporting your intellectual growth, character exploration, well-being, and sense of purpose.  

DU has many program types to consider, which fulfill different needs for different students. Our goal is to guide you through finding the best program for you and to prepare you to experience the transformative power of global learning. The Office of International Education (OIE) supports your international education through our comprehensive advising throughout your journey to study abroad.
