¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ

Off-Campus Study Groups

¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ offers full-semester, faculty-led off-campus study groups in locations all over the world, domestically and abroad. Students who participate in ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ study groups immerse in new cultures, perspectives, and experiences. 

Academic Experience

Participants receive instruction and mentoring from the study group’s faculty director. In most programs, students also participate in courses taught at a host institution. All of the academic credits a student earns on a ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ study group are applicable toward graduation at ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ, with no complicated credit transfer process.

Each study group has its own academic focus, ranging from religion and philosophy studies in St. Andrews, Scotland, to hands-on scientific research in Bethesda, MD. Students may apply to any ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ study group, regardless of their major or minor.

Available Study Groups

Some study groups are offered regularly, running annually at the same time of year, while others are offered based on faculty availability. Explore the regularly recurring programs, as well as those that will be offered in the coming academic year (updated each October).
