Off-campus Programs

Off-campus study in Asia is not required, but highly recommended. Students should consult Asian studies faculty members and the Office of International Education (OIE) for the numerous opportunities now available to Kenyon students to study in Asia for one semester or a year. Summer language-study programs are also available for students who need to prepare for off-campus study or desire to learn an Asian language not offered at Kenyon (such as Hindi, Urdu, Korean, Vietnamese, etc.).

The Association for Asian Studies has an excellent website with listings of and links to academic programs categorized by country, as well as links to programs where summer language training is available. Please note that if you pick a study abroad program that is NOT approved by Kenyon's Office of International Education, however, you risk problems in getting full credit for the work you do in that program.
