Study Abroad and Field Schools

Study Abroad, Field Schools, & International Internships
  • Students across all programs in the School of Architecture & Environment benefit enormously from studying or interning abroad.
    Experiencing creative work and design within its cultural context—or producing your own work in an entirely new setting—offers an unparalleled learning opportunity.
  • Choose from more than 250 University of Oregon programs in 90 countries worldwide.
    These global experiences expand your perspective while deepening your academic and professional growth.
  • Strengthen your portfolio with internationally inspired work.
    Many programs include studio courses where students create projects specifically shaped by international settings.
  • Engage with diverse voices and perspectives.
    Study abroad studios often feature international guest critics and peers who bring fresh insights to your work.
  • Gain deeper cultural and theoretical understanding.
    Criticism and theory students benefit from seeing how creative work develops within richly layered cultural contexts—while also gaining a more nuanced view of their own environment at home.
  • Learn through immersive, hands‑on experiences.
    Programs include visits to museums, galleries, buildings, gardens, design labs, communities, and neighborhoods—rounding out a truly global education.
