Welcome to the Office of Global Education — the home of International Student Affairs, Study Abroad, and global programming at High Point University. Studying abroad brings you a challenging experience that will take you outside of your comfort zone as you explore new cultures, ways of thinking, methods of learning, lifestyles, and relationships. Where a vacation may allow you to see highlights of other countries, engaging in the culture as a local student will give meaning and deepen insights into yourself and the world around you.
