Where will you go?
There are a great number of off-campus study opportunities coordinated by the Office of Off-Campus Study & Exchanges (OCSE), including Â鶹Æƽâ°æ's study abroad programs, approved non-Â鶹Æƽâ°æ study abroad programs, faculty-led travel seminars, and domestic study programs.
Staying on track at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ
Off-Campus Study at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ College has been developed to complement Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s degree programs and meet the high standards of a Â鶹Æƽâ°æ education. The main objective of our off-campus program structure is to include programs that allow Â鶹Æƽâ°æ students to integrate more closely their experiences off-campus with their work here on campus. All off-campus programs are linked to Â鶹Æƽâ°æ’s curriculum and are meant to support majors and minors.
Funding your experience
Students studying off-campus will be charged Â鶹Æƽâ°æ's comprehensive fee for the semester or academic year. Students studying on a short-term travel seminar will be charged a program fee that will vary depending on the program.
Before you go
As you prepare to study abroad, you will find that there are many details you must pay attention to and a long list of things "to do." Be sure to read everything you receive from your program sponsor immediately! OCSE is here to help guide you.
Taking care of yourself
In choosing to study abroad, you have demonstrated that you are a risk taker of the very best kind. We here in the OCSE hope that you'll continue to challenge yourself and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves to you while abroad.
Adjusting to a new cultural context
Off-Campus study & Exchanges recognizes and supports a diverse student population on all our programs. In selecting your program and in preparing to go abroad, it is important to think about all aspects of your personal identity and how these may be perceived in the host culture you'll be living in.
