Study Abroad

We live in an essentially intercultural world, and the best way to understand our world is to experience other cultures face to face. At Hartwick, we get students out of the classroom and on location as early and as often as we can.

How does "Interdependence" fit into a Hartwick education?
Hartwick is committed to preparing graduates who will thrive in a rapidly changing and increasingly diverse world. Our Liberal Arts in Practice approach to education places a strong emphasis on social and global interdependence through practical experiences--both inside and outside the classroom.

Research indicates that studying off campus in another culture is one of the most effective and dramatic ways to develop:

• An understanding of other cultures and a willingness to consider varied cultural perspectives;
• An awareness of the interconnections among nations and among issues, and;
• The knowledge and skills that will enable you to be successful in working with people of different backgrounds.

The career you begin when you graduate from college could take you anywhere on the globe. Even if you stay right here, your life and work will involve people from cultural backgrounds different from your own. Whatever your future, Hartwick will prepare you to engage and thrive.
