Off-Campus Study
We鈥檙e so excited that you are considering studying off-campus! We recommend that students participate in off-campus study to enrich their educational experience through exposure to a different tradition, culture and context of learning.
Some things to consider as an English major as you plan your off-campus study experience:
- You can study off campus at different times, though junior year is often advised.
- Different English courses can be taken off campus, depending on the emphasis you are pursuing; it is a matter of communicating with the department early and considering course offerings off campus that could match and transfer back as the appropriate credits.

鈥�It was so cool to walk around and see where [Shakespeare] grew up and hear stories of his family and his childhood. I learned so much both in and out of the classroom and gained knowledge that will stay with me.鈥�

鈥淢y study abroad experience in Dublin, Ireland, interacted with my major in so many ways! I am a more well rounded English student because of my time in Ireland and the immersion into the culture and history the country provided me with.鈥�
