Skidmore's Office of Off-Campus Study & Exchanges has a lot to celebrate!
Nearly 60% of our 2020 graduates studied off campus either internationally or domestically. In addition, Skidmore in consistently ranked in the top 10 among the top 40 Baccalaureate Institutions for the number of students studying abroad for one semester. (Data compiled by the ). And, the foundation of all this success, students can choose from , including 4 Skidmore programs and several domestic options.
Of course, all of these accomplishments are wonderful in themselves; but, more importantly,
they illustrate our overarching commitment to offering a portfolio of off-campus opportunities
that enhance our on-campus curriculum and support the College's founding principle
of linking theoretical and applied learning. Our ultimate goal is to allow students
to engage in a distinct culture and, in turn, to begin to question the assumptions
they hold regarding themselves, their own culture, and the cultures of others. Certainly
in today's global society, we all need to be able to confront cultural expectations
and stereotypes in our daily personal and professional lives. By developing and supporting
a wide variety of off-campus opportunities, OCSE hopes to advance the College's goals
of producing engaged citizens who possess a high level of intercultural literacy.
So, there's really only one question: Where will you go?
Come explore your opportunities! We're waiting for you…
