Our Mission

The Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) provides transformative educational experiences that inspire students to embrace new challenges in complex global settings.

Even far away from campus, you will be mentored and challenged by some of your favorite Stanford professors. Stanford faculty are central to BOSP programs worldwide. Faculty-in-residence serve in quarter-length programs, and faculty led summer Global Seminars. 

Global Education

BOSP offers the opportunity to study away while remaining enrolled at Stanford and is considered an integral part of the Stanford curriculum. 
BOSP provides pathways to global education through our various offerings: 

Quarter Length Programs
Global Seminars 
Special Summer Programs
Non-Stanford Study Abroad Opportunities
