Your undergraduate journey begins in Geneva, but your HWS experience can take you across the globe.

The HWS curriculum is designed to incorporate off-campus study. More than 60% of Hobart and William Smith students participate in off-campus study before they graduate.

Whether you travel abroad for a full semester or for a few weeks in January or in the summer, the Center for Global Education (CGE) will help you get the most out of your international adventures offering training as you prepare to leave, support while you are away and opportunities to share, reflect and build upon your experiences when you return.




Your world.
