IIE is working to increase the number and diversity of American students who go abroad and to encourage study in places of growing strategic importance to the United States. We created this special section on Study Abroad to highlight study abroad news, trends, policy research and other announcements. If you have any news you wish to share, send an email to policyresearch@iie.org.
