Why Study Philosophy Abroad?

The great philosophers spoke in many languages; Kant and Hegel write in German, Descartes and Leibniz in French, Machiavelli in Italian, Confucius and Lao-tzu in Chinese. Study abroad and see the social context that reflects their influence yet today.

Below is a list of approved programs for The Department of Philosophy. Check with your advisor, and he will be happy to advise you of your options.
