Program Search

The Office for Education Abroad uses a software platform called Via Global to search and apply for MSU-sponsored education abroad programs.


Create Your Profile

Creating an account, or your Via Profile, is as easy as answering a few simple questions.

After answering these questions, you can search directly for a specific program, or go through the Program Matching function - a fun and personalized quiz that will result in a list of programs that match your preferences. You can edit your preferences at any time to get new results or filter the list of programs by destination, field of study, duration, general keywords, and more!

You can also access application materials and detailed cost information, as well as favorite programs, use the message center, and see special events once your profile is complete.

If you're an MSU student, login with your MSU Net ID and password below.

If you would like to meet with a Peer Adviser to discuss your options or walk through Via Global, visit the Education Abroad Advising Center (108 International Center) for options. We can help you find a program that meets your needs and interests!

All programs listed in Via Global are official MSU-sponsored programs or affiliated partner programs authorized by Michigan State University in which any student may apply as long as they meet eligibility requirements. Students may also complete independent studies or internships abroad when the appropriate arrangements have been made with an MSU College sponsor.  Students are not permitted to participate in programs not listed in Via (non-MSU programs).
