Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Study Abroad

Overview

Study Abroad
Students in Studio Art

International experience is becoming more and more critical for all fields of study, and studio art is no exception. As the world gets more and more globalized, the ability to analyze in a cross-cultural manner will continue to become increasingly important.

Studying abroad as a student in the College of Letters and Science is both possible and encouraged. Many different opportunities exist—from short, two-week seminars in Europe to full, year-long immersion opportunities to foreign universities all over the globe. The key is to start early and plan ahead! Financial Aid goes with you and your ART advisors (along with advisors at Study Abroad) are here to help you make it happen.

UC Davis Study Abroad maintains a page of recommended programs for students in the Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Program.
