Study Abroad & Away

Centre is your passport to see the world.

As one of the top colleges in the United States for study abroad, we offer programs in 13 different countries spanning five continents. Many of our programs include internship placements, local orientation programs, and educational excursions. Additional study abroad and away opportunities during CentreTerm bring even more locations to your doorstep.

Our faculty go abroad, too, allowing them to share their knowledge of the region, and expertly plan trips and activities in their field. Each year, about 25 members of our faculty — from disciplines across the academic spectrum — teach their subjects in the context of another culture.

The opportunity to study abroad in Morocco and Spain broadened my horizons. It allowed me to become invested and immersed in a culture that I otherwise wouldn't have.
