Old Dominion University encourages all students to consider studying abroad for a summer, semester, or full year as part of their academic experience. Study abroad can enhance any major by challenging students to adapt to a new academic system and to infuse their studies with a global perspective. In addition, the culture and language learning opportunities which are offered by study abroad are unparalleled.

Approved courses which are taken abroad are fully transferrable to your academic program, and students can take courses to meet major, minor, or general education requirements. Arrangements can also be made for credit-bearing internships, or volunteer and work abroad programs. Students who qualify for financial aid can continue to use this aid while earning credit abroad.

*PLEASE NOTE: The Office of Study Abroad is now located on the second floor of Dragas Hall (formerly known as Hughes Hall), 49th Street and Hampton Boulevard.
