About Us
Welcome to the Office of Education Abroad at Middle Tennessee State University.
We are here to serve the students, parents, and faculty of MTSU with exceptional education abroad programming. This process is very extensive, so start early! OEA offers hundreds of approved education abroad program options located in over 65 countries. In addition, our office welcomes new exchange students every year to complete their study abroad program here at MTSU.
It is never too early to begin planning this unique international component of your MTSU degree program. Aside from researching this website, we encourage you to visit us in Jones Hall rooms 151-155, especially during walk in advising hours. We look forward to meeting you!
