International Engagement
In fulfilment of Howard University’s mission to produce leaders for America and the global community, the Provost’s Office supports a range of programs and international affairs activities. These include traditional study abroad opportunities, research projects, training and experiential programs, services for international students, and career training for foreign service. The Office of the Provost is engaged with every school, college, academic and administrative unit that facilitates and/or sponsors study abroad, experiential learning, and other extra-/co-curricular activities. This office is instrumental in the planning, facilitation and oversight of this type of programming, especially in instances where these activities are open to all students from across the university.
International Student Services
The mission of the Office of International Student Services is to assist individual international students, faculty, staff members
and their families by advising them on federal immigration, taxation and labor regulations, and
by providing counseling on personal, academic, financial and social matters.
Study Abroad
Studying abroad can be a life-defining experience that expands one’s social and cultural outlook.
Learn about opportunities through the Ralph J. Bunche International Affairs Center.
