The Office of International Programs and Development
(OIPD) supports international students on campus and promotes international education at Saint Martin's
University. Through
cultural exchange programs, study abroad opportunities and sponsoring
educational events on campus that expose students to diverse
cultures, the OIPD promotes intercultural communication and study.
Beyond promoting international study for American students, the Office
of International Programs and Development also offers
an English as a Second Language
program to international students.
 Saint
Martin's students who want to experience another culture for themselves
and get a better understanding of the world have several opportunities
from which to choose. The Office of International Programs and
Development organizes the Japan
Cultural Exchange Trip and China Study Tour. We also
facilitate faculty exchanges with China and can help graduates find
placements teaching English and Business in China.
Saint Martin's University has also established partnerships with Butler University
and Syracuse University to provide students
with a variety of semester, year and summer abroad study opportunities. In
addition, the Office of International Programs and Development has established exchange partnerships with
three
universities in Japan: Reitaku University, Kobe International
University, and Mukogawa Women's University as well as Sogang University
in South Korea.
The Office of International Programs and Development hosts
several cultural exchange programs that allow international student groups to
come to Saint Martin's University and learn about American culture first hand. Most programs
visit happen during the summer months. While here, students have workshops
related to their field of study, visit local places of interest,
participate with American peers in various activities and stay with local
families for one weekend. If you are interested in participating in
an exchange program, there are several ways to do so: as a hospitality
aide, workshop presenter/lecturer, student ambassador and/or as a host
family.
