The Ohio International Consortium (OIC)

Overview

The Ohio International Consortium (OIC) offers additional study abroad programs through other public universities in Ohio. The OIC is not a program provider - rather, it is an agreement that allows students at public Ohio colleges to access study away programs through other public Ohio colleges. 

Visit  Ohio International Consortium   for more information about the consortium and see which schools are members. NOTE: The information about the OIC is housed on the University of Toledo's website.

How do I apply?

Prior to applying directly to the program through another public Ohio institution, the Office of Global Opportunities recommends that all students complete mandatory OHIO paperwork for transfer credit programs. By completing the  Global Experiences Transfer Credit Approval Process  before committing to an experience, students will have a better sense of how the program will affect their progress towards degree completion and their financial aid. 

Please review the suggested application steps on the  types of programs - affiliated provider program  page.

NOTE: OHIO students participating on another school's study away program should communicate with the host school's study abroad office. There may be additional steps required to apply. Not all programs offered through each school are eligible as a part of the OIC agreement. Please check with the host institution to find out about which programs may be open for outside applications. 

Funding Opportunities
