The Office of International Programs (OIP) collaborates with academic and administrative partners across UTEP's colleges to enhance the success of the university's international community. Serving as a hub for international student and scholar support, OIP plays a crucial role in promoting cultural awareness, providing programming, services, and outreach opportunities. In addition to fostering a diverse campus environment, OIP is responsible for ensuring compliance with federal regulations and guiding international clients in fulfilling their respective obligations. In summary, OIP is a key facilitator in strengthening the international presence and impact of UTEP.
