Study Abroad

The Study Abroad Experience

The College of Architecture and Design offers travel-abroad opportunities tailored specifically for our students. Studying abroad allows students to enhance their learning through an immersive experience in a culture that they may not be familiar with. The experience is enriching, giving students a global perspective that will impact their practice for years to come.

Each study abroad program is unique, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between geography, culture, and the research and creative agendas of students and faculty. Recent study abroad opportunities include an AI-infused exploration of the built environment in Rome, Italy. These experiences provide a unique opportunity for students to collaborate with local community groups, designers, and immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of the host city.

Previous study abroad locations included Paris, France; Lisbon, Portugal; La Paz, Bolivia; Port Elizabeth, South Africa; and Berlin, Germany.
