The Office of International Education (OIE) at The University of Texas at Dallas offers resources for students and faculty for study and international experiences.

The Office of International Education was established in 2003 and is supported through the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost. Located on the 5th floor of the Jonsson Building in room 5.504, OIE provides innovative international learning experiences that will challenge faculty and students to explore, expand, and develop global knowledge and understanding of rich cultures and diversity. The Office seeks to be a resource on campus to foster international learning opportunities to educate and prepare individuals for skills necessary to function in a global environment.

OIE offers advising and support services for students ranging from how to select a study abroad program, academic planning, registration, earning and transferring foreign credits, financial and travel planning, cultural adjustments, and assistance with returning from abroad.

A variety of programs are being developed to attend to the diverse needs of students and faculty. Programs will vary in length, level, academic content, teaching style, language requirements, costs, living arrangements, and demands on participants. Study abroad can be exciting, yet challenging and confusing. OIE offers support and assistance to both faculty and students to make this process less daunting and more efficient.

The Office of International Education collaborates with many of the administrative and academic departments on campus including the Office of the Registrar and Financial Aid. Safety, security and insurance issues are always a concern and OIE follows guidelines established by the university. Although safety and security can not be guaranteed, OIE seeks to educate participants regarding up to date emergency procedures, U.S. State Department information and travel precautions, and related health risks which merit attention. OIE offers information sessions, pre-departure workshops and remains in close contact with participants during their programs.

OIE seeks to encourage and expand international opportunities both on campus and abroad. OIE seeks to assist students in any major to consider international study experiences that can be applied toward degree requirements and that contribute to overall personal growth.
