Study Abroad/International Study Opportunities
Cazenovia College invites students to expand their college experience by offering opportunities for international study.
Currently, the College offers study abroad programs in Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ireland, and Spain. These programs
range in duration from eight days to an entire semester.
Canterbury, England
Cazenovia College takes students to Canterbury, England for a semester-long study abroad program at Canterbury Christ
Church University (CCCU) during the fall semester. Students register for five CCCU classes (3 credits each) and a weekly seminar (1
credit hour) convened by the accompanying Cazenovia College faculty member, for a total of 16 credit hours. All students take a
course on Modern Britain, and have a choice between either British History or British Literature. The remaining three courses can
be chosen from a broad range of options, including Business, American Studies, History, Politics, Archaeology, English, Film and
Media, Religious Studies and Social Science.
This international study experience is recommended for students during the fall semester of their junior years. Students remain
registered Cazenovia College students during their semester in Canterbury. All courses taken during this program fulfill major
requirements, General Education requirements or electives toward the bachelor’s degree. All financial aid and scholarships remain
in place.
Galway, Ireland
In May-June 2012, Cazenovia College students participated in a 2-week, 3-credit hour program in Ireland. While this program
took place primarily in Galway, on the west coast, students started their trip in Dublin City, where they stayed at Trinity College
Dublin (TCD). While in Dublin, the Cazenovia College group saw the Book of Kells, the National Museum of Ireland, and
Kilmainham Gaol. From Dublin, the students traveled to Galway where they explored the city itself, as well as other parts of the
Connemara region. They also visited the Aran Islands, the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher.
This Summer Program in Ireland brought together a mix of medieval tradition and rich modern culture that provided an
endless source of material for the communications projects students worked on during this course. Credits earned during this
program fulfill Arts & Sciences electives or Open Electives in every major.
The next study abroad program in Ireland will be offered in May-June of 2014 or 2015.
Madrid, Spain
This Cazenovia College/Madrid Program is organized in coordination with Suffolk University and is offered during Summer
Session I, 2013. Students participating in the Madrid study abroad program take classes at Suffolk University's Madrid campus.
Students choose two, 3 or 4-credit hour classes from a diverse list of courses, which cover issue-areas such as Business, Art and
Design, Psychology, and Science and are conducted in English. For those students who would like to take classes conducted in
Spanish, there are Spanish Language and Literature courses offered as well.
Courses taken during this program fulfill major course requirements, General Education requirements or electives.
Monteverde, Costa Rica
In January 2014, Cazenovia College will take students to Costa Rica to participate in a program organized in coordination with
Monteverde Institute, located in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. During this 12-day, 4-credit hour course, students will study
the conservation and sustainability of the rain forest environment, and its inhabitants. Students will have the opportunity to conduct
research that involves reforestation and stream sampling fieldwork, and other activities involving birds, tropical biology, and animal
behavior.
Courses taken during this program fulfill the Scientific Literacy General Education competency requirements.
London-Paris
An eight-day trip to London and Paris is part of the coursework for “Fashioning Texts: Dress Culture in Literature and Film.”
Throughout the semester-long, 3-credit hour course, students will study fashion and dress culture as they appear in literature, film,
fashion photographs, and pop culture.
During spring break, students and teachers will extend their classroom for eight days to London and Paris to practice their
abilities to ‘read’ the city environment. Students will read and interpret the messages sent out by shops, streets, markets, people and
the city environment as a whole.
This course fulfills major course requirements for Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising, as well as General Education
requirements or electives, for all baccalaureate majors.
