Due to COVID-19 our staff is working remotely during regular office hours (8:30am - 5pm), but the office is closed to walk-in visitors for the foreseeable future. Additionally, Purchase’s Fall 2020 exchange programs and Winter 2021 faculty-led programs have been suspended.

To make an advising appointment about studying abroad, please email us here. If you are an international student with questions, please email us here. Our staff looks forward to connecting via Zoom or phone to answer your questions and provide guidance.

Whether you are a current international student on our campus, or you are looking to have your first international experience through a study abroad program, the Office of International Programs and Services is here to help!

We introduce current students to the many study abroad and study away opportunities available, and we help international students get to know each other and our campus during International Orientation.

We also host the annual Global Festival at Purchase College as a way to bring together art and culture from around the world right here on our campus.

Your time at Purchase is one to explore and connect and we’re here to help you get started! Stop by our office to learn more about taking the first step. You can find us on the 2nd floor of the Student Services Building or contact us here for more information.
