About

The Office for Study Abroad (OSA) provides and facilitates quality international educational opportunities at the George Washington University. As educators, we promote students' academic, personal, professional, and intercultural development before, during, and after their study abroad experiences. We respond effectively to individual student needs, while fostering cultural understanding and self-awareness throughout the student body, contributing to an increasingly internationalized campus. The OSA primarily works with undergraduate students seeking semester or year-long study abroad experiences both outbound from and inbound to GW. As international educators, we also celebrate the diversity of GW's student body as one of its greatest assets. We recognize the tremendous value of learning from each other’s differences and are committed to promoting this diversity in study abroad. We are particularly focused on working to improve participation of students from groups that are typically underrepresented in study abroad.
