Columbia
is continually working towards building a network of opportunities around the
world designed to provide a broad portfolio of international options to its
undergraduates. Reviewed and approved by the Faculty Committee for Study
Abroad, Columbia
students can choose to study abroad on over 300 programs in over 150 cities for
academic credit.
These are programs which are
managed by the Office of Global Programs on behalf of the academic departments
at Columbia and
our partner institutions. All students including Columbia/Barnard, consortium
member students, and students from other universities can find detailed
information about each of the programs by clicking on the program in the menu
to theright.
Columbia-Approved Programs and Exchanges
For students who are interested
in studying abroad in other locations, there are a large number of approved programs, exchange and direct enrollment institutions. These programs may be managed by another
university's international office (e.g. Middlebury's Programs in Russia), an academic consortium (e.g. CIEE in Brazil), or an outside organization in
partnership with local institutions (e.g. Interstudy at the University of Cape Town).
Columbia also has
direct enrollment agreements with many partner institutions abroad, as well as
a growing number of exchange programs with universities abroad. If you cannot find a program or institution that meets your needs, please contact the Office of Global Programs to explore your options.
