The Study Abroad Office is committed to enriching the academic experience at Arizona State University by affording students the opportunity to develop the intercultural competence, transnational understanding, and leadership skills required to face global challenges. In cooperation with academic and service units, faculty, and staff, we provide comprehensive support services for the development, implementation, and coordination of academically sound, credit-bearing programs abroad that are accessible to ASU students across all disciplines.

We seek to develop a menu of comprehensive international activities of the highest quality that provide every student with meaningful opportunities for academic and personal growth. We strive to ensure that study abroad programs are cost-effective, safe, and accessible to all students. We offer the expertise and infrastructure necessary to support ASU’s global aspirations.

The atmosphere in the Study Abroad Office is highly collaborative and collegial, but the successful candidate must be comfortable finding solutions to complex issues independently based on their knowledge of university policy and sound judgment. International Coordinators have significant responsibility for their assigned faculty directed programs and primarily work with faculty and vendors; student contact is often indirect or limited in this role. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual with strong interpersonal skills, educational program management experience, and the ability to understand and apply university policy.
