It is strongly recommended that students interested in off-campus study make an appointment with the Off-Campus Programs Coordinator Laura Zuege (and, where available, faculty program advisors) well in advance of the time they wish to pursue such study. These meetings help students establish academic goals, explore their off-campus options, and to discuss logistical issues such as timing of participation and the application process.
Students who wish to study off-campus are encouraged to make an appointment with the Financial Aid office to discuss their financial expectations. Program costs vary widely and it is best to be prepared for the financial reality of your off-campus study decisions.
Campus visits in the fall and winter terms by representatives from the affiliated programs, as well as individual discussions with the program faculty and staff, provide an excellent opportunity to learn more. Please also consult your academic advisor, other faculty, students who have studied off-campus in the past, and the Off-Campus Programs Coordinator to gather as much information about the program(s) as possible.
