Study away program

The Study Away Program provides students with the opportunity to broaden their perspective and views of the world by studying for a semester at another approved academic institution, usually in another country. Olin has an extensive list of approved programs and students must follow Olin’s set application process in order to apply for study away. Contact the International Programs Office for additional information.

Study away is limited to one semester and typically takes place during the junior year, unless on an Olin faculty led program. Study away may be approved on a case-by-case basis, with additional steps for approval, for seniors whose final semester takes place in the fall semester. Study away cannot take place in the final spring semester of senior year.

Full-time Study Away (which requires pre-approval) counts as one of the eight scholarship semesters. The student is maintained as full-time at Olin and is expected to pay Olin tuition after the merit scholarship and any additional costs associated with any such activity at the host institution including any tuition exceeding Olin's, room, board and fees if applicable. See the Home School Tuition Policy Statement on the Study Away webpage for more details. For questions about tuition policy contact Student Accounts.

For information about the planning and application process, see Study Away. In order to transfer credits from another institution, students follow procedures described in the academic policy section on Transfer credit. Financial assistance may be available to eligible students. Contact the Financial Aid Office for additional information regarding eligibility and procedures.
