Off-Campus Programs

Government majors have participated in the full range of study abroad programs, particularly during their junior year, or a semester thereof. Many have gone to Geneva, especially those interested in international relations. Others have studied in Paris, at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques, or at the universities of Edinburgh, or at Sussex University in Brighton, England, or at Oxford. Some have studied in Spain, at Cordoba, Barcelona or Madrid; others at McGill por Toronto, in Canada; others in Israel. And there are many other opportunities, as well.
