Study Abroad
The Center for International Academic Programs (CIAP) serves as a resource for UMKC students who would like to have an international academic experience while earning UMKC credit. CIAP provides information on study abroad options and oversees UMKC's cooperative student exchange programs with colleges and universities in several countries including the Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Mexico and Spain. For a detailed listing of available study abroad programs, deadlines and related scholarships, visit our Web site.
Interested students should contact CIAP for assistance in planning their international study abroad program. In order to receive academic credit, students must complete the required documents (available at CIAP). As outlined in the Guidelines for University of Missouri-Sponsored Study Abroad Programs, all students must also enroll in the mandatory study abroad insurance and complete an Assumption of Risk and Release form prior to departure. Students accepted into a program are required to attend a mandatory pre-departure orientation.
Students are invited to visit CIAP, located at 5325 Rockhill Road. Call (816) 235-5759 for an appointment to meet with a staff member for assistance with an international program, scholarships or other inquiries.
