International Education
MassArt supports several options for students to add a global dimension to their education, including study abroad programs, travel courses, and interaction with a diverse international student community.
MassArt Travel Courses
The Office of International Education manages the college's faculty-led Travel Courses, which are offered each spring and fall, and are open to students from all majors and levels. Recent courses have traveled to Egypt, Italy, the United Kingdom, China, Turkey, Mexico, France, Belgium, and Guatemala.

Semester Study Abroad
Enhance your artistic perspective through a MassArt International Exchange, AICAD Mobility, or Study Abroad Program. Qualified undergraduate students may participate in an exchange, mobility, or study abroad program during one semester of their junior year and must meet with Amy Holland (amy.holland@massart.edu) in Academic Advising in order to apply. It is never too early to start planning!
MassArt International Exchanges are full immersion programs, designed for the independent and self-motivated student. Due to the nature of an exchange, students are required to speak the language of the host country and are often the only student from MassArt at the partner school. Students pay MassArt for the regular full-time tuition and fees applicable to their state of residency during the semester they will travel. Most forms of financial aid apply, but it is important to check with the financial aid office for more information. MassArt has reciprocal exchange partnerships with the following institutions:
Australia
Melbourne University/Victorian College of Art
Japan
Osaka Seikei University
Kyoto University of Art and Design
Netherlands
ArtEZ Institute of the Arts (AKI)
Willem de Kooning Academie
Gerrit Rietveld Academie
South Korea
Korea National University of Arts
Spain
University of Barcelona
United Kingdom
Edinburgh College of Art
Glasgow School of Art
University College for the Creative Arts
AICAD Mobility Programs are available for undergraduate students to participate in semester-long exchanges throughout North America. MassArt is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD).
Study Abroad Programs differ from exchanges and are ideal for students who are more comfortable with being part of a group, which often has the support of host-country coordinators. A wide range of academic programs are available in over 100 countries.
To find more information for all domestic and international opportunities described above, please visit http://cof.studioabroad.com. Information sessions are held throughout the fall and spring semesters and can be found on the MassArt Calendar. We hope you take the time to consider this unique opportunity to grow, gain new perspective, and enhance your career!
The office works closely with the Colleges of the Fenway Global Education Opportunities Center.
