Study Abroad

The opportunity to study abroad—whether for a term or an entire year—is available to all students, and can be a wonderful way to expand upon the student's work at Bennington and to expand or specialize a student's interests and area of concentration in a new and exciting environment. Bennington has relationships with several study abroad programs, but also allows students to research new programs and to propose them for study abroad possibilities.

A student who is interested in studying at another school should begin planning approximately a year in advance, and discuss the idea with his/her Plan committee. The Plan committee will evaluate programs of study and advise how the courses they offer may be coordinated with the student's plan of study at Bennington. Students planning to incorporate language study into their time away will also need the approval of the director of the Isabelle Kaplan Center for Languages and Cultures.
