Three Ways to Study Away

We understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to studying off-campus. It’s why we offer three different ways to study away.

• semester or year-long courses, programs, and internships with partner institutions around the world;
• domestic study and internship programs in New York, D.C., and Philadelphia;
• 2-3 week faculty-led programs as the culmination of a semester-long course.
