Bing Overseas Studies Program

Located on the ground floor of Sweet Hall, BOSP has full-time staff members and student ambassadors to assist in advising and planning for study away. Course and program information, while accurate at the time of publication, is subject to change. Consult the BOSP website for updated information.

The Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) provides opportunities for Stanford students to broaden their undergraduate education through study away and exposure to other cultures. Regular quarter-length programs in Australia, Berlin, Cape Town, Florence, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Kyoto, Madrid, New York, Oxford, Paris, and Santiago offer courses in social and natural sciences, humanities, engineering, and earth sciences with full Stanford credit. Many courses also count toward major requirements and/or fulfill University breadth requirements.

Students may enroll for one or more quarters at most locations. Academic or paid internships are available at certain program locations. Research opportunities are available in various formats at different centers. Minimum academic and language prerequisites are specific to each program.  See the BOSP website for information on these prerequisites.  

Overseas Studies also offers three-week faculty-led, short-term programs in various locations during Summer Quarter, including Oaxaca, Mexico focused on community health and biocultural diversity, and occasionally other programs in various locations.  In addition to the programs offered through BOSP for enrolled Stanford students, the University is a member of the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies (KCJS), where students may enroll while remaining registered at Stanford.

While studying away through BOSP, students remain enrolled at Stanford and pay regular tuition along with an overseas fee, which is based on Stanford on-campus room and board rates. Regular financial aid applies and may be adjusted to cover additional costs. At many centers, students live in a homestay or a dormitory setting with local and other students.
