In partnership with our dedicated program abroad faculty leaders, the OIE administers around 15 programs abroad annually. These programs present the unique opportunity for students to travel abroad with Southern faculty members in an intimate group setting to engage in experiential learning that is impactful and unforgettable. Many of our programs have been running for over a decade. This is by far Southern’s most popular study abroad option!
