Why study abroad?
Study abroad is one of the best ways students can develop global skills and grow academically, professionally, and personally. Experience learning beyond the classroom setting and immerse yourself in another culture.
FACULTY-LED PROGRAMS
Our faculty led trips to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Cuba, Slovakia, Greece, and Thailand... just to name a few! These study abroad programs can range from one–five weeks and happen throughout the year and during semester intersessions.
SEMESTER ABROAD
Want to immerse yourself in a culture, take a semester or year abroad? Enroll at a university in your region of interest and take courses that apply to your LSU degree program.
INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP
Learn what your career may look like internationally. These internships are tailored to each student's needs. Enter an internship in the private sector or partner with a university.
COME TO LSU
International students can come to LSU to study abroad, a semester abroad, or to become an LSU student. There's plenty to do here, no matter what time of year! We have course offerings for a wide range of interests.
