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 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 Office of International Education and Study Away’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.
Students may propose a new program through an approval process and that form can be found on this website under “New Program Approval Petition.” The deadline to submit a New Program Approval Petition is March 1. You must meet with the Director prior to submitting this form.
You are required to meet with the Director of International Education and Study Away about your study away plans prior to requesting a signature on a program approval form and prior to confirming participation with your program of choice.
No Business program tracks, pre-professional programs or Open Campus programs will be approved.
