Study Abroad

These programs are a few of the many available to all students at Smith. Many theatre majors spend a semester or year studying on campuses all over the world. These programs below include those approved for Smith College credit as well as programs that students have chosen for their special programs or location.

Some programs have a strong curriculum focused on theatre. Others offer only a few related classes that might count for credit towards the major but offer a cultural experience that enriches that student's perspective on the field.

Members of the department have connections and suggestions for other universities including China, Canada and Germany.
