EDUCATION ABROAD

Education abroad is an invaluable opportunity that supplements the Davidson undergraduate experience. Students have the opportunity to choose from several Davidson sponsored programs and from over 100 academic programs that are operated by partner providers around the world. Each year, well over half of our graduating class studies abroad for a year, semester or summer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION ABROAD:

UPDATED 3/26/2021: Fall 2021 Study Abroad Policy
Per the email sent to the campus community on 3/26/2021, Davidson College will return to following the U.S. Department of State’s assessments of risk to travelers. This removes the prohibition on using funds for travel to a country with CDC Level 2 or higher advisory.  As before, the college’s International Education Committee must approve individual programs. As part of the approval process, the Office of Education Abroad and the committee will review each program’s COVID safety protocols as well as U.S. Department of State advisories and other factors by June 15. Travel to countries with U.S. Department of State level 4 advisory is not permitted. Additionally, if the committee feels a program is unable to support students adequately given ongoing risk factors, they may suspend approval of programs.
 
Students traveling to higher risk locations will have to fill out waivers acknowledging risks and must be prepared to submit a plan detailing the precautions they will take to protect their health and safety and the health and safety of others as well as what steps they will take if their country experiences a lockdown. OEA will communicate more details on these requirements to students over the next few weeks.
 
Individual programs are still making determinations whether they will run in the fall or not, so it is possible that a student would get approval from Davidson but then have their plans fall through because a program decides it cannot run during the fall.
