International Programs

General Information

The experiences of a year or semester of study and travel overseas provide an essential dimension of a liberal arts education that can be obtained in no other way. For this reason, the international programs have been designed to provide any Seaver College student, regardless of major, the opportunity to study, live, and travel overseas without interrupting other studies or postponing a career. Academic Year program locations in Heidelberg, Germany; London, U.K.; Florence, Italy; Lausanne, Switzerland; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Shanghai, China offer students a unique opportunity to gain both an academic and a personal understanding of other cultures, institutions, and languages.

Summer language programs in Spanish and French allow beginning students to complete their language requirement and offer advanced students the opportunity to study both the language and the culture of the country. Other summer programs provide special opportunities to study and focus on business, humanities, medical missions, biology, ecology, theatre, music, or other topics. Upon graduation, many students conclude that participation in one of these programs was the single most significant experience of their undergraduate years.
