With options for studying off campus ranging from a few weeks to a full semester, all students can find a global learning opportunity.
°Ä²Ê¿ª½± Study Groups
°Ä²Ê¿ª½± is ranked first nationally among baccalaureate institutions by the Institute of International Education for the number of undergraduates participating in semester-long off-campus study programs. Full-semester, faculty-led study groups are incredible opportunities for students to study off campus domestically and abroad.
Approved Programs
While °Ä²Ê¿ª½±â€™s semester-long study groups cover many regions of the globe, students can also choose from more than 100 approved programs in 50 countries. The list of approved programs is carefully vetted and updated to provide students with off-campus opportunities supporting every academic interest.
°Ä²Ê¿ª½± Extended Studies
Extended studies are courses taught on campus throughout the semester and feature a 2 - 3 week travel component, often for an additional partial credit. These courses offer opportunities to engage with global themes and cultures in person. They are open to all students, and provide opportunities for off-campus study to those who may not be able to fit a semester-long study group into their schedules.
Summer Study Abroad
If you wish to study off-campus, but can't go for a semester or on a °Ä²Ê¿ª½± extended study, you may wish to consider a summer study abroad experience.
Financial Aid
Access to Opportunities for All
The university firmly believes that the cost of studying off campus should not prevent any student from enjoying the educational advantages of learning while immersed in new cultures, experiences, and environments.
Students who receive grants as part of their financial aid package from °Ä²Ê¿ª½± may receive additional financial assistance to meet the increased costs of study on one °Ä²Ê¿ª½± Study Group or Approved Program, and one °Ä²Ê¿ª½±-directed extended study program.
