“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain

Welcome to the Office of Study Abroad! We are here to empower LU students to explore the world beyond Southeast Texas while earning Lamar University course credits. Each study abroad program varies in length, allowing you to choose between spending a week abroad during spring or winter break, two or more weeks abroad during the summer, or an entire semester or academic year abroad at one of our international partner universities.

The Lamar University Office of Study Abroad is here to help you find a program that best fits your academic interests and goals, while providing support from the time you leave campus until your return. Click the students link on the right side of this page to learn more about the different programs we offer and the financial aid available to make sure you have a life-changing academic experience that will have a profound impact on your personal and professional future.
