Center for Global Engagement

Who We Are

The Center for Global Engagement (CGE) is the hub for fostering an international community and the primary resource for TU students seeking transformative experiences abroad. With 96 study abroad programs in 38 countries, we provide semester-long study abroad opportunities for all students. Additionally, we facilitate nearly 20 faculty-led travel courses each year to provide short-term study abroad opportunities for students and we offer our signature JumpStartTU program to build connections between incoming students, faculty, and staff in a study abroad setting. 

 Through our initiatives, we ensure that The University of Tulsa remains a globally connected institution—bringing TU to the world and the world to TU.

Why Give

Gifts to the Study Abroad Scholarship Fund open the world to our students, making life-changing global learning experiences possible. Nearly 30% of our undergraduate students are Pell Grant-eligible, so financial barriers remain a significant challenge for many hoping to study abroad. Your support can help bring global opportunities within reach and turn those dreams into reality. 

 By giving, you provide students with the opportunity to broaden their horizons, grow academically and personally, and contribute meaningfully to our global community. Together, we can ensure that more students gain access to these transformative experiences.

Personal Message

"My global education has broadened my worldview and allowed me to realize how many ways there are to live and think about education, museums, and artwork. From learning about political murals in Ireland to deeply studying Italian altarpieces, I saw the power of art across the globe and the need to have a global perspective when thinking about art and culture.” – Caroline Cox, Class of 2023
