About Us

The Office of International Programs was established in 1986 as part of the Provost Office:

  • to strengthen communication and coordination among K-State's many international programs,
  • to achieve identified strategic planning goals for the university's further internationalization and global engagement, and
  • to provide a focal point for external international contacts and agreements.

The OIP plays a prominent role in the global engagement of the University.  This includes the internationalization of faculty, departments and colleges, student programs, faculty/staff development, curriculum development, and area studies at K-State.

The units within the Office of International Programs provide primary support for both incoming international students, scholars, faculty and researchers and for students, faculty and researchers going abroad.

K-State is currently engaged in many exchange programs with institutions around the globe

International students make up some of both the undergraduate and graduate student body, which gives our university an essential component to make our students globally competent. Our students come from many countries. While international students experience our campus, they also provide global perspectives to classroom discussions, expand our research connections, create cultural awareness among our students, and help engage students to experience other countries and cultures.
