Welcome

The mission of International Affairs at Middle Tennessee State University is to strengthen the global and international dimensions of teaching, learning, research, and service at MTSU. We believe that:

The promotion of global awareness, knowledge and proficiency should be intrinsic to MTSU. Global and international awareness, knowledge and proficiency are essential for MTSU students to participate effectively in the 21st century. International education is an orientation and approach across the curriculum as well as a separate subject. International education at MTSU should be an integrated and collaborative effort on the part of all levels of the education establishment.

Office of Education Abroad

Education Abroad at MTSU is dedicated to providing all MTSU students with the highest quality international academic programs and opportunities abroad that allow them to gain the knowledge and develop the skills necessary to become successful and productive members of the global community. In partnership with MTSU colleges, schools, departments, faculty and staff we seek to increase awareness of education abroad opportunities, to promote intercultural learning and to advocate for diversity in participants and programs.

Office of Undergraduate International Admissions
