About the Portland Center

The Portland Center offers a 3 to 12-month academic study abroad program at Portland State University. Our program allows you to take PSU regular courses without meeting PSU’s minimum English language proficiency requirement. The Portland Center’s special academic support makes this possible. You may transfer the credits earned at PSU to your degree at your home university.

Our mission is to provide the highest quality academic study abroad experience for international students at Portland State University.  We support the "whole student" so that they can accomplish their academic and personal life goals during their program.  We help students create a life changing study abroad experience for themselves that influences their perspective on the world and their own futures.

You can reach us via email at portlandcenter@pdx.edu for inquiries.
