Dickinson's campus may be located in Carlisle, Pa., but the Dickinson experience spans the globe. Recognized as one of the nation's top schools for foreign-language majors, the college offers one of the world's most respected off-campus study programs.
More than half of our students and roughly one-third of our faculty participate in the more than 40 study-abroad programs Dickinson provides in 24 countries. Fourteen of these programs are managed by Dickinson, which means that we have established a center at the study-abroad site and our faculty are in place there, year round. From Beijing, China, to Yaoundé, Cameroon, each program stresses cultural immersion and rigorous learning over academic tourism—an approach that led NAFSA: Association of International Educators to declare: "No college is more internationally minded than Dickinson."
But you don't need to study abroad to take advantage of Dickinson's global community. Whether you're interested in debating intellectual-property laws in a residence-hall lounge with a student from Nepal, attending a lecture by a visiting Nobel laureate from Germany, brushing up on conversational French at a language table during lunch, or celebrating the Chinese New Year in the HUB Social Hall, you'll have many opportunities to explore new cultures and develop a global perspective without ever leaving Carlisle.
