The goal of International Programs is to educate engineers for the global technological enterprise of the 21st century. Through the integration of international education into the curriculum, our mission is to help engineering students become 'global engineers' possessing not only technical strengths, but international communication and cultural skills as well. The IPE Office offers semester, academic year, and summer study-abroad programs to Engineering students for technical, language, and cultural training. International internship programs are also available. Its programs are designed to prepare the engineering student for competitive careers that demand performance across international boundaries.
Many courses taken abroad can earn the student credit toward a degree program.
A well-planned program of study or work experience will also allow students to graduate on time. This office offers educational programming, classroom speakers' bureau, crisis intervention, and information and referral services. This office advises minority students and organizations, offers personalized attention, and helps plan events and activities. All students admitted to the University of Michigan who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents can apply for financial aid administered through the Office of Financial Aid. All questions about financial aid and scholarships, including application deadlines, should be referred to the Financial Aid office.
