Students on Geneva Study group enjoying a meal

Since 1979, Colgate students have traveled to the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland, spending a semester immersing themselves in study of global and European law and organizations. Students embark on an intensive French language course, take two regular courses, and work a 14-week internship in international government or a non-governmental organization.
