Studying off campus offers the opportunity to expand your horizons, build your network, and challenge yourself to build skills for success as an adult in the world, all while earning credits to count toward your Denison degree requirements. We offer hundreds of approved programs in 60+ countries on 6 continents to allow you to choose what fits your goals. The hardest part may be deciding on just one!

To make this happen, you’ll need to plan ahead, research programs, and then apply for Denison approval to study off campus in the fall of the academic year prior to study away. Most students apply during fall of their sophomore year and participate in a program the summer before junior year, or during the fall or spring of junior year. We’ll be here to offer guidance along the way, sending emails and posting to our Instagram from the start of the application process until the end of your program- and even after you return to campus!
