Study Away Opportunities
The College offers a wide range of options for students to learn through travel, both domestically and internationally. The college’s programs are organized and taught by our own professors or faculty from our partner institutions. Our objective is to provide an opportunity for each architecture student to participate in at least one off-campus experience over the course of their degree program at IIT.
Recent for-credit summer courses have provided intensive study tours of Scandinavia, Europe, Japan, and the United States (an option developed especially for our many international students). Advanced design studios often include travel as part of their syllabus including recent trips to the Middle East, Tokyo, Mexico and the US.
The B.Arch. curriculum incorporates a full semester (or academic year) abroad during the fourth year. Students can also participate in international programs hosted by our partner institutions, or forge out on their own international experience in external programs.
College of Architecture students participate in field trips in all studio courses, including visits to project sites, construction sites, and fabrication firms.
