Programs & Locations

Please choose your study away program from those listed below. These programs have been previously approved for credit within the liberal arts and continue to be recommended by our Williams academic departments. We keep our knowledge of programs current through student evaluations and ongoing site visits. Programs may be added or removed from this list at the College’s discretion.

Follow the links below to the program websites to research available offerings and see whether the program is suited to your specific strengths and academic needs. The list can be sorted by program and location columns. You should work closely with the faculty in the department of your intended major if you are seeking credit for any of your study away courses.

Williams College does not administer these programs, aside from the Williams-Mystic and Williams-Exeter at Oxford (WEPO) programs. Williams College does not represent or act as an agent for, and cannot control the acts or omissions of, any host institution, host family, transportation carrier, place of lodging, tour organizer or other providers of goods and services in connection with third-party programs.

You are required to attend a Group Advising Session prior to requesting a signature on a program approval form and prior to confirming participation with your program of choice.

Having trouble deciding on a program? It can be overwhelming! Try using our ‘choosing a program‘ handout to help narrow down your choices!

No Business programs; pre-professional programs; or Open Campus programs will be approved. The programs listed below are all operated through third-party program providers, aside from Williams-Mystic and Williams-Exeter at Oxford (WEPO).

Please be sure to apply directly to the program of your choice after submitting your general application to Williams College. All application details, visas, and logistics will be handled by the third-party program directly.
