Information
for Parents
While your son or daughter navigates the study abroad program selection
process, you may have a number of questions of your own. We have compiled
here some basic information that we hope you will find useful as you
discuss these plans with your student.
Program Choices
Dickinson College is one of the most prolific colleges
in the world in the development of off-campus study programs. More
than 60 Dickinson faculty members have directed study abroad programs,
and Dickinson now sponsors more than 40 programs on six continents
in 24 countries. These options include academic year programs, semester
programs, summer programs, Globally Integrated courses that include
a January international field experience and specialized programs
which combine domestic study with international study, such as the
Mosaic Program.
Dickinson students have a wide array of program choices through which
they may pursue their global learning objectives, including:
Dickinson Programs
Dickinson Programs are developed and directly managed
by Dickinson College and led by an on-site director who may be a Dickinson
professor or a representative from the host institution. They have
been created by academic departments at Dickinson as extensions of
the department’s curriculum and are monitored by them. Approximately
75 percent of Dickinson students who study abroad participate in a
Dickinson Program.
Dickinson Partner Programs
Partner Programs are developed through linkages between
Dickinson academic departments and departments at overseas institutions.
Partner Programs allow students to apply their Dickinson financial
aid to the programs and continue to pay their regular Dickinson comprehensive
fee. Students enroll in the partner institution with few services
provided by Dickinson. Approximately 10 percent of students who study
abroad participate in a Dickinson Partner Program.
Non-Dickinson Programs
Non-Dickinson programs extend Dickinson’s off-campus
network to include study options in every part of the
world and in every academic area. While not as closely
monitored as Dickinson Programs and Partner Programs,
these programs are offered by accredited colleges and
universities, which oversee them. Students pay a study
abroad fee to Dickinson and are not able to transport
institutional aid to these programs. Approximately 15
percent of students who study abroad participate in a
non-Dickinson program.
