Studying in a foreign country represents a significant enhancement to your Columbia College education.  Study abroad expands the walls of the institution and offers you the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of the larger global community of which we all take part.  Students engaged in international study discover insights into other cultures, develop new perspectives, and learn to reflect on how their own culture has shaped their understanding of the world. 

This site is designed to guide you through the policies and procedures for study abroad and provides a framework for understanding international study as part of your undergraduate experience. Please read these pages carefully and contact Dean Scott Carpenter to discuss your goals and plans.
