Travel and Study Around the World
Every country and culture approaches Asian studies differently. The best way to gain a well-rounded and diverse view of the field of Asian studies is to live and learn in another country.
The University of Oregon sponsors a variety of study abroad programs in Asia ranging from short-term faculty-led programs to semester- or year-long direct enrollment programs at Asian universities. Most forms of financial aid may be used to pay for study abroad program costs. Additional scholarships are also available.
