ASU strives to provide students with the knowledge, skills and tools that foster success and independence, and study abroad can be an integral part of that personal and academic growth process.

Our International Coordinators with regional expertise are available to offer advice, before, during and after programs. We offer an informative Global Education Program Handbook, pre-departure orientation, extensive medical insurance coverage, and a comprehensive emergency response system.
