i'm trying to get a sense of what programs offer international experiences - whether it be study abroad, clinical experience, etc. as an undergrad i studied abroad and have always had dreams of doing it again. although it's not necessarily a deal-breaker for me, it is still somewhat important.

the only school i've definitively found so far is tufts which has a program in oxford and in stockholm.

can you all help a girl out? what programs do you know of that offer a study abroad component?

I know there are programs that offer international experiences as part of fieldworks or extra curricular. Creighton and Springfield College are a couple I know. Try to ask the OT department of the schools you're interested in.

Chatham University in Pittsburgh offers clinical experiences abroad over the summer - I believe one is an elective between your first and second year and the other one is an optional thing after you're done with the entire program

I think Toledo does.

Sacred Heart mentioned doing fieldwork II abroad in select countries. I haven't looked into it, but they mentioned it as an option.

St. Catherine University in St. Paul, MN has the opportunity to go to Ecuador or Perú and do OT work abroad for a few weeks! That was a big deciding factor for me when I decided to go there.
