## Our Mission

The Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) provides transformative educational experiences that inspire students to embrace new challenges in complex global settings.

Even far away from campus, you will be mentored and challenged by some of your favorite Stanford professors. Stanford faculty members are central to the BOSP mission, providing instruction and oversight for all BOSP academic programs.

## Global Education

BOSP offers the opportunity to study away while remaining enrolled at Stanford and is considered an integral part of the Stanford curriculum. \
