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
"My experience has impacted my life completely. I plan on traveling to Europe in the future. I am actually going back to Ireland in 2 weeks. Only for a week and a half, but I can't stay away!!"

"I gained confidence in myself to survive alone while being submerged into a culture alone. I with that I would have lived with a host family instead of in a dorm. "

"I learned that the UK is very different from USA, but still has similarities. I enjoyed London because it was easy to live about the country and learn all about the UK because I was able to see so many sites I had learned about my whole life.

"The housing situation was pretty terrible and the bars close at 12. The beer was pretty bad on the whole and if you did find a decent ale, it was served at room temperature. It was interesting to be a part of the London culture, but I'm pretty sure it's not a place for me. It also gave me a new appreciation for the States, esp..."
