Department Summary
The Division of Global Engagement (DGE) works to make the University of Oregon a more global university. In 21st-century higher education, international engagement is not an optional extra: as noted in UO's Academic Plan, it is a core mission, essential to a thriving, socially salient, intellectually robust, academic community. It is part of the normal functioning of every school, college, department, and center. DGE works to support and integrate the wide range of international engagements, global-scale projects, and transnational partnerships launched and maintained in our many academic units. Units within DGE consist of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS), Global Education Oregon (GEO), and Global Studies Institute (GSI).
GEO (Global Education Oregon) is the UO study abroad office and a provider of international programs open to partner universities. At Global Education Oregon we create pathways to international, experiential learning for students, faculty, and university partners. Founded on the belief that international engagement is integral to developing global citizens, we:
• Prepare students for a 21st-century workforce, creating exceptional academic and professional development opportunities abroad;
• Connect faculty to cross-cultural perspectives that enhance their teaching and research; and
• Provide institutional partners with a personalized, progressive approach to international programming and collaboration.
Global Education Oregon (GEO) is a proud partner of Generation Study Abroad.
