Global Community
At Lewis & Clark, we’ve long understood the value of having an international focus and community. Students can choose from more than 35 overseas study programs in 26 countries—including China, Cuba, India, Scotland, and Tanzania. More than half of our students take advantage of these transformative opportunities, which expand our internationally focused academic curriculum.
Students who study abroad learn firsthand about the history, culture, and contemporary issues of a region or country, often in parts of the world not reached by other schools. Seventy percent of our programs are based in countries outside Western Europe. These opportunities challenge students to understand the way people of their host country view the rest of the world, while gaining insights into their own culture.
Students and faculty recently studied the lava flows of Mount Fuji and undertook an archeological dig in central Italy. We also established an overseas study program in Cuba more than a decade before the U.S. embassy reopened.
