International Studies at Rutgers in Camden is a unique program, an alternative or supplement to the traditional year or semester abroad sponsored by many American universities. Our emphasis is on integrating brief periods of travel with regularly-offered courses in our university curriculum here in Camden. Each year, usually during the Spring term, the program sponsors between five and ten courses, working with academic departments and individual faculty members to extend the work of the classroom into a first-hand experience of cultural life outside the United States.

Faculty members accompany their students on these study tours, and travel may take place during Winterim, over Spring break, or after classes end in May. The program is ideal for students who want some exposure to foreign cultures but for whom an extended period abroad may not be feasible. Most courses are undergraduate, though graduate credit is available in some departments. Travel expenses are in addition to tuition.
