Study Abroad: Seminar in Europe

Study abroad enriched my online studies and was a life changing experience. Seeing the classical works of Western art history in person, in their context is incredibly important. Now, when I study French photography, I have a sense for the culture from which it arose. Regardless of your age, locale, or major: Stop thinking about it, just go! I promise you won't regret it! ~ Cindy, Photography BFA

The Study Abroad Program was absolutely amazing! The experience of seeing the art and the culture of the people around it can't be compared or replaced by anything else. It was refreshing to meet and study with other students. I made some great connections and friends that remain to this day. ~ Malorie, Animation BFA
