Overview of Programs

Brandeis-run study abroad programs are sponsored by the Office of Study Abroad and are either led or overseen by Brandeis faculty. Building on strong connections in Costa Rica, Denmark, Italy, and Mexico, Brandeis University has developed these unique academic programs for undergraduate students. The programs embody the distinctive elements of a Brandeis education, including the intense intellectual engagement students share with our cutting-edge faculty; rich experiential learning opportunities; and the university's longstanding commitment to global engagement and social justice.
