Picture Yourself Abroad

Here’s a small sample of the ways you can combine intellectual adventures with practical experience:

• Perform in the London Acting Program at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.
• Immerse yourself in the food, agriculture, and lifestyle of the Mediterranean region, and discover farms, markets, and vineyards.
• Intern in either International Relations or Public Health with the Geneva Internship Program.
• Discover Japanese language at the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies (KCJS).

Do a world of good

BU has a rich tradition of volunteering. Here are a few of the ways our students give back:
