In 1962, the world was growing increasingly interdependent—politically, economically, and culturally. Lewis & Clark believed that if students were to thrive, they would need to know how to live and work with other people and cultures.
“The idea of sending young undergraduates overseas was unheard of,” then-President Howard says. “But we believed that if you sent students abroad early in their education, they would have time, when they got back, to build on that experience.”
Today, Lewis & Clark’s overseas study program is one of the most distinguishing features of the college. Our commitment to international education attracts students from—and sends students to—every corner of the globe.
