Choose A GEO Center Experience
A GEO center is a student’s home away from home, where dedicated on-site staff arrange housing, organize excursions, offer on-site orientations, and connect students to the kinds of global experiential learning and professional development opportunities unique to each country. Our centers in London, Siena, Segovia, and Oviedo offer a wide range of catalog courses and programs from business to journalism, advertising, liberal arts, language, psychology and more, and serve as a convenient base for faculty interested in leading their own customized programs.

Human Physiology director internships and career readiness, visited GEO's Spain Centers in Oviedo and Segovia, and GlobalWorks International Internships in Madrid.
“Each of these locations—Oviedo, Madrid, and Segovia—offers Ducks the chance to strengthen their Spanish, grow as global citizens, and explore the world with curiosity and humility.”
College of Education director of stewardship and donor relations, visited GEO’s new programs in Costa Rica.
“One student told me, ‘I almost didn’t go because I had a lot of anxiety about the unknown. Now I can’t imagine my college experience without it.’ That kind of transformation is what study abroad is all about.”
Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence director, visited the GEO Siena Center to better advise first-generation and multicultural students.
“My advice to students is to start exploring early, even if you don't know where you want to go. To take the opportunity to take a look and see what's available to you.”
