Off-campus study provides a valuable cross-cultural dimension to your Alma College education. Not only can off-campus study teach you a lot about yourself and the world, the benefits of off-campus study can open up a world of professional opportunity.

  • Get an edge in the job market - gain the cross-cultural communication skills and international perspective coveted by today’s employers
  • Enhance your education - get a new perspective on your academic discipline, as well insight into your home country and culture
  • Learn a foreign language - or take classes abroad in English! Immersion will enhance your language skills at record speed - but foreign language skills are not a prerequisite and many programs are taught in English
