Back to All Stories

°Δ²ΚΏͺ½± students are taking lessons in the liberal arts outside the picturesque Chenango Valley β€” and in impressive numbers.

The university has been for student participation in semester-long off-campus study opportunities. The rankings appeared in the annual Open Doors report, published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

β€œ°Δ²ΚΏͺ½± supports an average of twenty semester-long, faculty-led programs that enrich student learning across the curriculum,” said Joanna Holvey Bowles, director of off-campus study. β€œThese opportunities encourage foreign language exploration, and broaden student learning and global perspective.”

°Δ²ΚΏͺ½± has held the top spot in the IIE ranking for two of the past three years, and has been a fixture in the top five for more than a decade. The IIE also listed °Δ²ΚΏͺ½± ninth among baccalaureate institutions for overall participation in study abroad programs.

β€œWith seventy-two percent of °Δ²ΚΏͺ½± students studying abroad β€” and campus-wide support for faculty and students alike,” Holvey Bowles said, β€œthis tradition of close to sixty years has a bright future.”
