Study Abroad

Travel and Study around the World

Every country and culture approaches political science differently. The best way to gain a well-rounded and diverse view of the field of political science is to live and study in another country.

Questions regarding political science credit for study abroad programs or courses can be directed to our director of undergraduate studies at psdus@uoregon.edu.
