Study Abroad (International Off-Campus Education)

Study abroad is one of the most effective ways of learning about the world. The International Off-Campus Education (OCE) program at New College offers all Hofstra students exciting opportunities to earn credits toward their academic degree by enrolling in a study abroad program and/or participating in an international internship for a semester or an entire academic year.

Study abroad programs and internships are available in many cities, including Amsterdam, Athens, Beijing, Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Dublin, Edinburgh, Galway, Madrid, Melbourne, Milan, Paris, Prague, Santiago, Seoul, Tokyo, Venice, and more. In all, New College offers more than 60 study abroad programs in some 30 countries in Europe, Asia, South America, and elsewhere.

Students may intern in a wide range of areas, such as the corporate world, education, health care, law, medical research, museums and art galleries, governmental and non-governmental organizations, public service, theater, or publishing.

Student wishing to study abroad through an accredited program other than one currently offered by New College may do so under advisement from Hofstra's Director of International Off-Campus Education (see below).

Select New College students are eligible to study for one semester or an academic year at St. Catherine's College of Oxford University. Students will enjoy all the main privileges of studying at an Oxford college and participating in English university life. Internships are also available through this program.

New College also offers three unique "Odyssey" programs—the European Odyssey, the Mexican Odyssey, and the Italian Odyssey—in which small groups of students travel and study abroad with Hofstra faculty.

Hofstra students participating in study abroad programs and international internships may be eligible for financial aid.
