The realities of economics, communication, and cultural production in a world where national boundaries are more fluid and urban growth is unprecedented prompts us to offer international experiences as a fundamental component of our curriculum. The Sam Fox School currently runs programs in Europe and South America and is exploring programs in Asia. Through these programs, our students learn to adapt culturally and professionally, develop sensitivity to place-based practices, and are equipped to practice in most countries of the world.
The Sam Fox School sponsors a summer program in Florence, Italy, that is available to all Washington University students, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The program offers students the opportunity to study art or architecture.
In addition, several study abroad programs are offered to students in a particular area of study.
- The College of Art offer undergraduate students a chance to spend an entire semester in Florence, Italy.
- The Graduate School of Art offers a summer study abroad program in Berlin, Germany.
- The College of Architecture offers students three study abroad programs: semester-long programs in Florence, Italy and in Copenhagen, Denmark, and a two-week Architecture Summer Study Abroad Program in Europe.
- The Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design offers semester-long studio programs Helsinki, Finland, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as a summer-term curriculum in Barcelona, Spain.
