60% of the junior class studies off-campus. In addition to semester and year abroad, students in all classes study in Short Term off-campus courses, taught by Bates faculty, around the US and the world, or join a Bates faculty-led Fall Semester Abroad (FSA). We are here to help you explore your options, expand your horizons, and make off-campus study a part of your Bates degree. Bates approves 200+ opportunities for off-campus study or study abroad, searchable by academic focus, geographic region and country.
