Study Abroad

International study is a popular and encouraged option in the School of Art. We have established exchange connections with 25 schools around the world. Up to one half of our recent graduating seniors have studied abroad in countries such as Japan, Chile, Germany and New Zealand and students from those schools enliven the mix here. College of Fine Arts summer programs, such as Discovering the City, an interdisciplinary arts course in cities such as Rome and Barcelona provide other options for international experience. The array of experiences our students bring back with them from all over the world enriches their creative process and our communal dialogue.

In addition to these academic year programs, the School has also participated in numerous projects abroad in: an abandoned bottle factory in Sardinia, Italy; a former castle in Skoki, Poland through the Poznan Academy of Art; a defunct army base in Metzingen, Germany; the Aichi Prefectural Art Center in Nagoya, Japan; a vacant slaughterhouse, private gardens and the lagoon of Venice, in cooperation with the Scuola Grafica and civic organizations in Italy; and, in summer of 2002, in public areas of Schwabisch Hall, Germany.
