Study Abroad

General Resources

M-Compass
This portal, managed by the U-M ITS Department, offers students a place to search, save, and apply for study abroad programs. Students can create an M-Compass profile which allows them to save programs of interest and apply for a variety of programs in one location (browsing or searching does not require a login).

Many units on campus offer study abroad opportunities that are all listed on the M-Compass website. To search for these, visit the M-Compass Funding webpage. Here, you can do basic or more advanced searches based upon your interests, program, and other criteria. Visit M-Compass > and select "Funding" from the menu on the left.
