Open Doors 2020 (based on 2018-19 participation)
The 2020 Institute of International Education Open Doors Report published in November 2020 ranked St. Olaf #1 among baccalaureate institutions (for the 12th year in a row) for total number of study abroad students with 696 participants. Note that the Open Doors Report excludes international student participants and participants in domestic off-campus study programs, so total participation as measured by IIE is lower.
