Ten ¾¨Ó㴫ý students will spend the spring semester studying in France, Spain, and Pittsburgh.
"Off-campus study involves students in valuable educational and social experiences with those who have different cultural and educational backgrounds," said Dr. Frederick Horn, professor of English and director of off-campus studies at ¾¨Ó㴫ý. "Our students become much more aware of themselves and their values when they live outside their comfort zone. To loosely paraphrase Bobby Burns, it's helpful to see ourselves as others see us."
As a part of their educational program, ¾¨Ó㴫ý students can spend as little as a month, or as much as a year, living and studying in an international or domestic program. Students who study off-campus are able to earn not only credits towards graduation, but also credits towards their major or minor, or towards fulfilling part of the Liberal Studies requirements.
