In the 21st century, it goes without saying that an international experience is a major component of a meaningful education. Ohio Valley University provides students with opportunities to live and study abroad, experiencing the history, culture, and variety of foreign countries. Many of our students consider it the experience of a lifetime.

Regardless of what academic field you pursue or what occupation you enter, global awareness will provide a necessary component for success. The Study Abroad program at OVU combines dimensions of a traditional classroom course with on-site, experiential learning in an international setting.

The following International Studies Programs are being offered for the 2009-10 academic year. If you have an interest and would like to learn more, contact us today.
