Study Abroad Programs
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS
Historically, the College’s traditional architectural training, with its strong focus on materials, technology, and the craft of assembling a building prepared an individual for the practiceof architecture. Not only must future students have these skills, but they must also engage in the processof architecture, collaborating across multiple disciplines, geographies, and cultures. Immersion in foreign culture and architectural traditions educates our students to become leaders in the ever-changing global arena.
The College of Architecture’s study abroad options range from intensive short-term international workshops and four-week summer trips to Advanced Design Studios that include travel as part of the regular curriculum.
The College’s programs are organized and taught by our own professors or faculty from our partner institutions. Our objective is to provide an opportunity for each architecture student to participate in at least one off-campus experience over the course of their degree program at IIT.
