About IPS

Providing students both here and from abroad with a wide range of educational experiences is the mission of the International Programs for Students Office. This is accomplished both through facilitating support services to students pursuing academic and professional training and by creating a global awareness through on and off-campus programs. International Programs for Students is comprised of four offices: International Student Services, Sponsored Student Programs, Study Abroad Programs, and the Santa Chiara Study Center.
