Off-Campus Study Program
 

   "The Russian experience has changed my life in ways that I'll never fully be able to express...I am amazed at how much I have learned, not just about Russia and her people, but also about myself." --Bates student in St. Petersburg, 2000 

How do I start?
 
  • Drop by the Off-Campus Study Office in Lane Hall (110 Lane Hall; Front Door, straight ahead) or call Mrs. Vincent (x6223) to make an appointment to meet with Dean Sawyer or Mr. Das.  This meeting is mandatory for anyone considering off-campus study. 


What will we discuss at the meeting?
 
  • Your academic plans and ideas
  • Bates off-campus study guidelines and requirements
  • The semester balance enrollment policy
  • The range of off-campus study possibilities
  • The application process
  • All of your questions and concerns


How can I prepare for the meeting?
 
  • Consult with a faculty member about how off-campus study fits into your four-year plan of study at Bates. 
  • Familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures outlined in the FAQ page.
  • Look over the list of off-campus study programs; explore the links to the program web sites or look through the program files in the Off-Campus Study library in Lane Hall.
  • Read the student evaluations of programs in the Off-Campus Study library.
  • MOST IMPORTANT - RELAX. You are not expected to have a complete plan at your meeting with Dean Sawyer or Mr. Das.
