Off-campus study plays a dynamic role in a Denison education. By placing students in educational settings that intentionally combine classroom and experiential learning, off-campus study provides an invaluable opportunity for students to interrogate, rework, and hone their intellectual skills, as well as to cultivate the intellectual responsibility and capacity for civic engagement associated with a liberal arts education.

Off-campus study also engenders significant personal growth as students gain independence, self-confidence and the capacity for constructive communication across difference through purposeful experiences of other educational, cultural, and socio-economic settings.
