Update on Study Abroad 2021

We have made the very difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel our planned summer 2021 programs that would have had faculty and students traveling in June and July to Italy, Spain, and Costa Rica. We have been regularly monitoring the situation and given the information available at this time (US Department travel warnings, CDC travel restrictions, in-country restrictions, timeline for logistical arrangements and more) feel that rescheduling these programs is the appropriate action to take.

Faculty, staff, and students will be looking to Fall 2021 semester study abroad (deadlines are in early summer) and our continuously evolving faculty-led study abroad schedule below.
