Global Education Oregon is a program provider offering 21 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad and Internship abroad programs in 19 countries such as Multi-Region, Denmark, Netherlands, and Japan.
Introducing GEO (Global Education Oregon), the integration of AHA International, founded in 1957, and University of Oregon Study Abroad Programs.
With a team of seasoned, dedicated, and forward thinking professionals, GEO aspires to be a leading force in the development of a new approach to global learning, one that offers inspiring challenges and valuable rewards for all players and participants.
GEO currently offers more than 100 programs on five continents during the academic year and summer. At present, program length varies from two and a half to 19 weeks (including fall and spring semester, fall and spring quarter, January term, and summer options). Many of our programs take place in locations off the beaten path, maximizing cultural immersion and ensuring that students never feel like tourists. GEO programs span a wide range of models, including single location and multi-site opportunities, classroom and integrated excursion-based learning, and field schools. GEO designs programs that permit students to satisfy general education, major-specific, and elective credits. Placements in meaningful and mutually beneficial service learning projects and internships are also open to students from a wide variety of majors.
Study Abroad with Global Education Oregon
"The program greatly increase my language abilities, but most importantly, I met a lot of wonderful people and had a lot of fun. "
Laura S Oakland University
"I am now trying to apply for grad school in London. I know it is a long shot, but the art collections there are something that would bring me back again and again and I hope to have another opportunity to study them. "
Reva M Willamette University
"I didn't feel like the program did a great job of fully incorporating us into the culture. It would have been better if we had been exposed to more "real life" Argentina."
Devon B Oregon State University
"My experience abroad opened my eyes to hwo very much I enjoy learning about other cultures. I cannot wait to go somewhere again!"
Lucy R Portland State University
"I learned so much from my experience abroad. I learned more about myself and the world than I could have ever imagined. Studying abroad really changed my life and made me realize what I want to do with this short life I have. I highly recommend going abroad it doesn't even have to be to Argentina it just needs to be somewhere."
Keegan B Western Oregon University

Katee W Portland State University
"This study abroad experience was not only a wonderful educational adventure, it was a true reminder to me of what I want to pursue in my life. My time in Greece showed me what a life devoted to the arts can lead to, and seeing that kind of a future first-hand has motivated me more to pursue my personal goals. "
Maggie W University of Oregon
"There was such insight and innovation in the architecture and sculpture from the ancient Greek culture. It is breathtaking to walk around a large modern city and to see the ancient sites, like the Acropolis set above the city. The blend of ancient and modern is fascinating. I also enjoyed the contemporary art. The Greek people h..."
Frossene K Oregon State University
"Was rewarding during and afterward. The cultural experience alone was more than worth the trip. Living in a foreign country is unlike simply visiting."
Alyssa V Oakland University
"The biggest thing that I gained from my study abroad experience was the confidence to express myself in Spanish. Before the trip, I was afraid to talk, afraid to make mistakes. I was forced to do just that in Spain, and now I feel that I can converse, even if I do mess up some times. It also gave me the chance to live abroad (I ..."
Meneka T University of Alaska - Anchorage
"I have an amazing life change, the totality of which I cannot explain on this small blob of whiteness."
Jacob S Western Washington University
"I learned valuable living and traveling experience with a group and with other young people my age from different cultures, as well as the importance of comparing languages and history to better relate to each other."
Patrick M University of Oregon
"It was more than worthwhile, it will definitely change you! "
Brandine W Lebanon Valley College
"I met a boy while being here in Spain and I stayed for the summer. I absolutely love it here. I have learned a lot about the different cultures within Spain and how they feel about Americans. "
Jessica M Oakland University
"YES."
Michelle G University of Portland
"I have lived in Europe for more than half of my life, so it's more home to me than anywhere in the U.S. However, this time abroad I didn't have my family and I became independent, more confident, and learned a great deal about myself. I love what this program did for me and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!"
Sofia M Southern Oregon University
"I grew and learned more in those three months than i have in years! I am stronger than ever and ready to travel for the rest of my life!"
Hannah T Central Washington University
"I gained a new outlook on the world. Africa is not what you see in pictures or on TV. The only way to really understand is to go there. Media creates a different world than what it is. My future plans include the peace corps and I believe this was a great starting point for that trip. It prepared me for an immersion into a new p..."
Amanda M University of Oregon
"Studying abroad was the best experience that I had while I was in college. I learned so much, I met amazing people both from Eugene and internationally who I am still friends with today. I learned how to open my eyes and accept aspects of Italian culture that I didn't understand or appreciate before and for that I am very thankf..."
Paula M University of Oregon
"Yes, I would do it again in a heart beat! I am so happy I took the adventure for myself, it really pushed me in many unexpected ways."
Emily C Western Washington University
"This experience has made me want to explore other cultures and travel. I also want to further my studies in Italian. I learned a lot about myself as a person and how to adapt to new settings."
Anna N University of Oregon
"It's been almost 4 months since I got back - and all I want to do is go back and continue my experiences there. I don't want to do it over again, because that would imply feelings of regret, but I want to keep on exploring both London, and Europe, in general. Nothing against tourism, but there is simply nothing like living in an..."
Sarah H University of Oregon
"I learned so much from studying abroad. Not only did I gain knowledge on the culture and language, but I also learned a lot about myself. It was difficult at first to go alone to a completely unknown country and try to immerse myself to get the full experience, but by the time that I had to go, I didn't want to. I wish that t..."
