Beyond the Classroom | Study Abroad

Harvard considers that a significant experience in a foreign country and culture can be a valuable part of a student's undergraduate education. Through travel and study abroad programs, work, and international internships, about 60% of Harvard students integrate international experience into their undergraduate careers. Harvard's flexible study abroad program accommodates students' varied academic interests and plans, and Harvard students travel all over the world, with the benefit of our exceptional networks and advising resources.

Study Abroad Options

Enrollment in a foreign university
Enrollment in a program sponsored by another U.S. college or university

Furthermore, a student's need-based financial aid travels with the student for his or her study abroad program during the academic year. Loans and some Harvard grants are available for summer programs.
