study abroad
Study abroad is a vital component to the IAS major and provides students with an important experience that allows them to truly understand the cultural complexities and lived experiences of their chosen region. The interdisciplinary courses and language courses taken by students will
prepare them for exceptionally enriching cultural experiences.
A student’s choice of country should correspond with their language study. Majors are strongly encouraged to spend a minimum of one semester studying abroad in their selected region during their junior year. While abroad, students pursue a research project selected in consultation with their advisor that will help form the basis for the senior thesis.
