Education Abroad

Michigan State University is a world leader in education abroad, and Lyman Briggs College is active in creating options for its students. Every year, students have dozens of options in programs led by LBC faculty, partner programs, and more.

Anyone Can Participate

We are committed to providing students of all backgrounds with education abroad opportunities. In addition to helping students choose, plan, and finance their experiences, MSU provides a variety of resources to students of color, LGBTQ students, international students, and students with disabilities.
