Studying abroad is one of the best experiences any student can have while attending UC Merced.

The Office of International Affairs (OIA) supports UC Merced’s vision of becoming a leading international research institution. Through visa services, study abroad and internationalization efforts, OIA is positioning UC Merced to take a prominent place in global higher education and research.

The International Center, located in Room 101 of the Leo and Dottie Kolligian Library, is the one-stop shop for immigration and study abroad advising. Stop by the center to make an appointment with an adviser, grab a cup of tea or use one of the computers available to students and scholars.
