Off-Campus Study Groups

51³Ô¹ÏÍø offers full-semester, faculty-led off-campus study groups in locations all over the world, domestically and abroad. Students who participate in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø study groups immerse in new cultures, perspectives, and experiences. 

Academic Experience

Participants receive instruction and mentoring from the study group’s faculty director. In most programs, students also participate in courses taught at a host institution. All of the academic credits a student earns on a 51³Ô¹ÏÍø study group are applicable toward graduation at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, with no complicated credit transfer process.

Each study group has its own academic focus, ranging from religion and philosophy studies in St. Andrews, Scotland, to hands-on scientific research in Bethesda, MD. Students may apply to any 51³Ô¹ÏÍø study group, regardless of their major or minor.
