The Office of International Programs and Services is a university-wide administrative unit which is responsible for international and study abroad programs, international students and scholars, and special programs, including the Institute of American Language and Culture.

It serves as the central administrative structure that provides a connecting point linking Fordham's many and growing international endeavors, whether it be Student Study Tours led by faculty members, or international curricula being developed in various Schools of the University, or faculty research and teaching projects abroad, or collaborative agreements reached by Fordham and a number of Universities abroad.
