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.

A student Western Washington University
"It is truly amazing how much you learn from living overseas. Greece feels as much like home as Washington to me now.

Maggie C Western Washington University
"It was definitely worthwhile. Next time I would look for a program that placed us in a British university. I made valuble connections overseas and with my American peers and professors. Our professor's goal was for us to be able to see artwork/artifacts, and benefit from seeing it in person. We saw many things, and I do feel see..."

"It's changed me in more ways than I know. It's made me more culturally aware and has given me a deeper appreciation for the arts and art history. "
Zoe C Carleton College
"My study abroad experience in Oviedo was absolutely worthwhile. It was a great place to study. There aren't very many people who speak English in the city, minus the students, so you will learn and practice your language every time you step out of your door. Many of the professors are good and are willing to help you if you have..."

It didn’t really change my academic goals, but it ..."

James W University of Oregon

Larne S Eastern Oregon University
"I have been many places overseas. I started traveling in high school with my choirs or on missions projects with my church. I thought I was prepared to go into a different culture and confident that it wouldn't change me too much. On the contrary, I was changed and continued to change afterwards as I mulled over everything I lea..."
Bethany B Grand Valley State University
"I am moving to Ireland after I graduate in May 2012, just 10 short months after the program finished. The country was beautiful and it will be so easy to travel to other countries from Ireland. I am hoping to find an elementary teaching position."
Sondra B Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
"YES! After it ended, I was dying to go on another adventure, or stay longer in Dublin. The classroom setting was great, the group of students was small enough to get to know everyone. Everyone was so nice and helpful when you had a problem. You get long weekends to travel with friends and the bus system is great. It's so easy to..."
