Welcome

Internationalizing Ohio State’s comprehensive range of activities in research, education, and outreach with a partnership formalized in an institutional Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) represents a premier contribution to Ohio State’s strategic goals. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) partners with Ohio State academic units to develop and manage a wide array of international collaborations, from general memoranda of agreement to more specific joint ventures to study abroad opportunities to Student Exchange Agreements. We encourage you to explore the motivation, policies, and practices associated with collaborative agreements by reviewing these guidelines and instructions to help you develop an effective new or revised partnership agreement.

If you decide that you wish to pursue an institutional agreement for the benefit of your academic unit and college, you should find this section of our web site to be a good guide. In addition, we strongly suggest that you schedule an appointment with OIA's partnership specialist Joanna Kukielka-Blaser ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
