Off-campus studies range from taking a semester at another university in the United States through the National Student Exchange Program to studying for a semester at a university abroad. Another popular option is a Global Field Course, where you and your classmates travel with faculty for intensive field study in locations ranging from the Grand Canyon to Italy, Australia and Iceland. Off-campus study will expand your horizons, immerse you in new cultures and provide opportunities to meet new friends and explore the world.
