Exchange Programs

Qualified undergraduate students may participate in these programs during one semester of their junior year and must meet with the International Education Office to apply. Students may also consider a range of summer courses abroad. It is never too early to start planning!

A wide range of programs are available to MassArt students. Tuition and support services differ with each program so please be in touch with the International Education Center for more information. Information sessions are held throughout the fall and spring semesters and can be found on the MassArt Events Calendar. We hope you take the time to consider this unique opportunity to grow, gain new perspective, and enhance your career!

Generation Study Abroad is an initiative, launched in 2014, of the Institute of International Education (IIE) to mobilize resources and commitments with the goal of doubling the number of U.S. students studying abroad by the end of the decade.

MassArt became a commitment partner to Generation Study Abroad (GSA) in August 2016, and pledged to double the number of students participating in our semester exchange programs. As a GSA partner, MassArt has access to many study abroad resources, is part of a global support network, and is eligible to apply for student scholarships​ that can directly benefit our students.
