Empowering encounter and exchange

Global engagement is not an aspiration, it’s an expectation. Whether it’s international experiences on campus or research halfway across the world, our programs, faculty, and students are learning from the world… and learning for the world.

ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ around the world

Our 12 global locations convene scholars, students, and leaders for research, debate, and cultural exchange.

Global Network

ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ faculty are conducting externally funded research in 73 different countries.

Impacting global policy

Students in the Keough School of Global Affairs are confronting the world's greatest challenges with a focus on human dignity, in Washington, D.C. and around the world.

Two men, one in a white shirt and tie and the other in a brown jacket, stand on a balcony and engage in conversation. A man in a blue suit and a woman in a black dress stand outdoors, looking contemplative against a bright blue sky with wispy clouds.

Global scholarship

Global encounters are a hallmark of the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ experience. With 87% of our students participating in study abroad, we challenge each other to learn through the soles of our feet and grow as global citizens.

We seek to be a reflection of the greater human family

Over 3,000 international community members are supported by ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ’s Office of International Student and Scholar Affairs, before, during, and after their time on campus. Over the past decade, the international population at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ has increased by roughly 34%.

Whether we talk about poverty or climate, technology or democracy, peace or justice, the biggest challenges humankind faces cut across national borders. At ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ, we are building bridges to address the most pressing issues facing our world.
