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.

Francette was one of 17 students who traveled to Florence, Italy, for a six-week creative writing course in summer 2023. “This experience really taught me to be independent.

Going with an Eastern group also introduced me to many cool people I might not have gotten to know before the trip.”
