Your undergraduate journey begins in Geneva, but your HWS experience can take you across the globe.

The HWS curriculum is designed to incorporate off-campus study. Nearly 70% of Hobart and William Smith students participate in off-campus study before they graduate.

Whether you travel abroad for a full semester or for a few weeks in January or in the summer, the Center for Global Education (CGE) will help you get the most out of your international adventures – offering training as you prepare to leave, support while you are away and opportunities to share, reflect and build upon your experiences when you return.
