By 1973, Bloomsburg University was sending student teachers abroad to Europe, South America and Asia. During the late 80s and into the early 90s, the School of Extended Programs could no longer keep pace with international education objectives. The torch was passed to Academic Affairs. By 1992, a new office, the International Education Office, was created to coordinate study-abroad programs for Bloomsburg students and to enhance academic opportunities for faculty.
