Request Approval for an Independent Education Abroad Program

Are you thinking about studying abroad at a location/institution not already listed? Missouri State students can request that an "independent option" be approved to allow academic credit transfer and use of scholarships/financial aid. To start, visit our Independent Education Abroad Program page.

Register an International Internship, Research, or Practicum Experience

Even though these experiences may not be considered "education abroad", MSU still requires participants to register their experience through the Office of Education Abroad. These experiences can be credit-bearing or noncredit bearing, but could include activities such as an internship, research, field work, practicum, service-learning, etc.
