Off-Campus Study in Economics

Studying economics in a rapidly globalizing world necessitates an appreciation of differences in culture, language, currency, and more. Studying abroad can help you develop a broader perspective, benefiting you in your economics studies and beyond.

The London Economics Study Group

Each year we lead a class of economics students to London for a full semester of study. You will live and study together in London, England, and receive guidance and instruction from a Colgate faculty member that travels abroad as well.

In addition, you will participate in an internship arranged with a bank, business, law firm, non-profit, or government agency during the second half of the semester you spend abroad.

Other Off-Campus Study Options

While the program above is specifically targeted to students studying economics, the off-campus study office has many more opportunities available that students from any discipline can participate in. Here are some of the available off-campus study opportunities:
  • Semester programs: Full semesters abroad with a class of your Colgate classmates, and instruction from a Colgate faculty member.
  • Extended studies: Travel abroad with your class for two-three weeks after the end of the semester to expand upon the classroom lessons for certain courses.
  • Other programs: If Colgate's extensive offerings don't exactly match your interests, we'll help you find the external program that best suits you.
