Study Abroad

Architectural Studies majors are encouraged to explore architecture across the globe as part of a study abroad. The University of Pittsburgh offers a wealth of resources at the Study Abroad Office, 802 William Pitt Union.

Among numerous other programs, a foreign study term in Denmark is available through Denmark's International Study Program in Copenhagen. The term consists of five 3-credit courses selected from a wide variety of subject offerings, including architectural history, urban history, studio arts, architectural design, and traditional liberal arts disciplines. A single fee covers tuition, room, board, in-city transportation, and use of numerous libraries. (Recent grad Zack Walters completed the DIS program. Read about his experience.)

The Program offers the Fil Hearn Award for Study Abroad annually.
