Office of International Programs and Studies

The Office of International Programs and Studies provides support services for UAPB faculty and students including assisting in compliance with immigration regulations; facilitating study, travel and internships abroad, promoting university linkage relationships and providing activities that enhance global awareness and an appreciation for diversity.

In February 2014, UAPB pledged to join the Institute of International Education (IIE)’s Generation Study Abroad initiative to double the number of American students who study abroad by the end of the decade. UAPB has committed to increasing the number of undergraduate students who study abroad by 75 over the next five years.

IIE’s Generation Study Abroad will engage educators and stakeholders to increase the number of U.S. students who can gain international experience through study abroad programs, internships, service learning and non-credit educational experiences. IIE has committed $2 million to this initiative over the next five years, leading up to its centennial celebration in 2019.

UAPB hopes to reach its target number in less than five years and then seeks to double study abroad participation from 75 to 150. Strategies for reaching the target number of 75 study abroad students include streamlining procedures to access federal financial aid for study abroad, aggressively pursuing grant opportunities to defray the cost of study abroad participation, building on the university’s STEM record to develop specific experiences abroad in this academic area and reaching out to faculty and staff through workshops and information sessions to increase their participation in global learning initiatives.

The session will be conducted on Monday, November 13, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. CST. 

HBCU Forum Description:  Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have a long history of involvement in International Education, which dates to the 19th century.  This history is, however, overshadowed or obscured by discourse that focuses on demographics around study abroad.  The 2023 Region VII HBCU Forum has as its foci HBCUs’ multi-pronged approaches to International Education that promote study abroad, as well as globalization on multiple levels of engagement.

Please register via the link below or the QR code in the flyer.  We look forward to your participation in this important dialogue!   Link to use for HBCU FORUM REGISTRATION: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rf--upzsuGNR7UJi6RVGvnXBdnwN26Kyh#/registration

  • Continue in the Global Dialogue with Partner Institutions.  The Office of International Programs and Studies (OIPS) invites the university community to join with us in a series of dialogue sessions, information meetings and events that explore our role in promoting peace, a shared sense of belonging and effective leadership in a challenging and rapidly changing global context.  We use the occasion of International Education Month to launch this series which will continue into the spring academic semester.  As a part of this process, we will aim to see ourselves as an integral part of the global community – avoiding the false notions of “here and there” or “us versus them.”
