Office of International Programs
Welcome to Princeton University's Office of International Programs (OIP), home to the Study Abroad Program and the International Internship Program.
Princeton University is committed to providing undergraduates with high quality opportunities to enrich and expand their education through firsthand encounters with the peoples, cultures, and contemporary concerns of other regions of the world. In support of the University's internationalization efforts, the OIP serves as the primary resource for undergraduates seeking to gain experiences abroad that enhance the teaching and learning that take place on campus. The OIP develops, promotes, and coordinates international academic activities for Princeton undergraduates. These international experiences serve to prepare students for leadership and lives of service in an increasingly interdependent and culturally diverse world.
As part of the Office of the Dean of the College, and in close partnership with the Princeton faculty, the Office of International Programs provides a number of services, including:
- Developing and supporting study and internship programs abroad in conjunction with academic departments and programs;
- Advising students interested in study abroad and international internships, including maintaining lists of approved study abroad programs and summer internship placements;
- Educating the campus community about University travel policies and emergency procedures in conjunction with the Office of the Vice-President for Campus Life and the Office of Risk Management;
- Providing on-going support for students participating in international programs, from pre-departure to re-entry;
- Processing academic credit for approved semester and summer programs abroad;
- Offering funding for international internships and study abroad in the summer.
