Students at Bates have the option of taking a semester or full year in a foreign country. Both programs provide them opportunities to study and conduct research at their choice of hundreds of colleges and universities throughout the world.

According to Associate Dean of Students Stephen Sawyer, the program director, the experience serves to enhance students’ college careers by offering opportunities to live in other cultures and speak other languages.

Some students at Bates enroll independently at the foreign university of their choice, while others choose foreign-study programs through other accredited American colleges.
