About Our Office: Overseas study is an integral part of a Lewis & Clark education. In fact, many students report that they chose to attend Lewis & Clark expressly because of its robust international programming. Nearly 60 percent of Lewis & Clark undergraduates study overseas or off‐campus before they graduate. Overseas program types range from intensive language programs, to general culture programs, to specific departmental programs (for example, in biology, chemistry, psychology, or music). Students have many opportunities to pursue research opportunities abroad, mentored by program Faculty Leaders. The US State Department continues to list Lewis & Clark’s study abroad program in its Top 10 for undergraduates. Additionally, Lewis & Clark is in the nation’s Top 10 for Fulbright honors and is perennially a top Peace Corps sending institution - a reflection of our strong international curriculum and commitment to overseas study.
