Off-Campus Studies

Experience the World

At Houghton, nearly half of our students experience the world through off-campus study. For students, this is far more than an excursion. It’s a way to take what you’re learning – political science, intercultural studies, theology, business, medicine – and apply it in a new context.

Immerse yourself in the East African experience – the culture, people, and environment – for a semester unlike any other.

Featured Testimonial

Before Houghton, I had never really considered a life outside of the States! I simply wanted to have an interesting study abroad experience. However, through the Houghton in Tanzania semester I had a significant broadening of my worldview, which has shaped not just my career choices but who I am.
