Department Statement:
The Office of Off-Campus Study (OCS) reports through the academic division. OCS advises more than 750 students annually and from that number sends over 500 students off-campus. Colgate (pre-COVID) has occupied the top spot in the annual IIE Open Doors report for the most students studying internationally at a baccalaureate institution combined with semester-long study. Annually, Colgate faculty direct from 17-20 semester-long study abroad programs. Students normally take one or two courses with the Colgate faculty director, and the balance of their coursework at a local partner university or with locally-hired adjunct faculty. Some are language immersion and culture while other focus on a particular discipline.

In 1935 Colgate created the first-ever, faculty-led study semester based in Washington DC that still operates today. In addition, Colgate offers five to eight three-week programs that are an extension of a semester-long campus-based course. Extended study programs allow students to travel for three weeks with a faculty director and their classmates. Students may also choose from a list of over 100 semester-long study abroad programs throughout the world, that are approved by individual departments for credit toward the Colgate degree.
