Brown’s Office of International Programs sends approximately 600 students—nearly half of the junior class—abroad each year. The University sponsors programs in 14 countries at 53 different institutions. Programs are available in Barbados, Brazil, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Tanzania, and the United Kingdom. In addition, students can participate in any of 136 other approved programs in 47 countries. Students may also petition to receive Brown transfer credit from other program sites. Such petitions must be formally approved for Brown credit prior to the study abroad experience.

Students are required to demonstrate foreign language proficiency prior to studying abroad in countries for which French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish is the primary language. We strongly encourage students to learn about international study opportunities during their first year at Brown so that they may plan their academic course of study accordingly.
