Study Abroad Programs
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.
Program Options
Dickinson students have a wide array of program choices
through which they may pursue their global learning objectives. Program
options fall into three main categories:
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
70 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 8 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 22 percent of students who study abroad participate
in a non-Dickinson program.
