Pomona
College has long embraced the philosophy that the cultural awareness fostered
through foreign study is part of a liberal arts education. In 1971 the faculty
passed the following resolution:
|
|
Pomona offers Study Abroad programs in 26 countries. |
|
 |
|
|
The College believes that the opportunity for interested and qualified students to
study for one semester in a foreign country may benefit the student’s academic
program and enrich the life of the College community. The Program for Education
Abroad seeks to maximize the benefits of living temporarily in a non-American
milieu, to extend the curriculum of the College beyond the resources of the
Claremont campus, to generate both intellectual and personal sensitivity to the
variations of life, culture, and scholarship in the world, and thus contribute
to responsible citizenship in human affairs.
Pomona College offers forty-three study abroad programs in
twenty-seven countries for
its own students. Approximately half of Pomona students study abroad before
graduating. To assure equal access, the College charges the same fees for a
semester or year abroad as for a semester or year spent on campus and extends
financial aid allowances to cover the time abroad.
The
Office of Study Abroad (OSA) maintains a resource library with program
information and keeps evaluations
by former participants for each program. After consulting these materials,
students may make an advising appointment with an OSA staff member to discuss
study abroad options. The office also maintains a collection of general travel
literature and materials relating to passport and visa procedures, health
issues, and transportation.
Note: Pomona College may be obliged to alter or eliminate programs described
without prior notice. Dates, courses, and costs, both for
on-campus services and for programs abroad, may change without prior
notification.
