Third Party Providers (Study Abroad Organizations)

We work with several carefully selected study abroad providers who organize all administrative matters and often provide on-site program directors for college students going abroad to places like Australia, Japan, Ireland and Argentina. Study abroad through a third party provider allows students to remain full time MSU students while enrolled directly at a foreign university, or indirectly through a U.S. university.
