About Us
o.e. = Overseas Experience!!
oe-studyabroad focuses on short, summer courses–normally two weeks–in the English speaking countries of Australia, Fiji,
and New Zealand. We offer the highest quality academic programs, providing high intensity, in-depth learning opportunities where you will immerse
yourself in the environment and subject matter.
At oe-studyabroad we believe that learning should be more than dry lectures and rote memorization. We will take you
across the globe and bring your textbooks to life by putting you in the field. Lectures come from interesting experts who will keep your attention.
Outside of the classroom, we will show you how academic theories and concepts are actually applied. You will gain memorable life experiences
that will stay with you forever.
oe-studyabroad provides an ideal combination of outstanding academic quality, cultural immersion, extensive
extracurricular activities, and social opportunities.
Courses with oe-studyabroad become life adventures!
