Study Abroad by Bates Students

Off-Campus study at Bates is managed through the Off-Campus Study Office, according to policies set by the faculty, administration, and the Off-Campus Study Committee. Approximately 60% of Bates students study off-campus once or more during their times at Bates. The goal of the Off-Campus Study Office and Committee is for these experiences to be integral to, and supportive of, the student's overall academic progam at Bates. Information on all these options and the related College policies and procedures are available in the Off-Campus Study Office and in the online section for Bates students.

Contact Information

We welcome calls, emails, and visits from faculty with observations about off-campus study programs, questions about College policies and procedures, or other matters regarding this important part of the Bates curriculum.  The office is located in 110 Lane Hall (786-6223).   Front door, straight ahead.
