International Study
Hamilton sponsors or is affiliated with programs in China, France, and Spain. Students also may choose from more than 100 other programs approved by the College.
About two-thirds of Hamilton students take part in off-campus study opportunities that range from the College’s highly rated language programs in China, France, and Spain to internships with Hamilton’s D.C. and NYC programs to field research with program providers in places like New Zealand and Costa Rica.
At each off-campus destination, Hamilton students expand their knowledge through academics and real-world engagement. Internships are a major component of Hamilton’s domestic programs. Students who study abroad in language immersion programs pledge to speak no English, emerging from the challenge with greatly improved skills, confidence in their own abilities and a global perspective.

Be willing to do things alone. While I was in Argentina, every day I would just jump on the metro and go somewhere in Buenos Aires. I ended up [going] everywhere!
Now that I look back on my time abroad I realize that I have grown a lot, and that my interests around immigration before going abroad did not change so much as they evolved.
I remember the sense of accomplishment I felt when I was walking on the street and realized that I passively understood what was being said around me without needing to focus my attention.
On Sundays my friends and I would play pick-up soccer. Our love for the game brought us together and our conversations taught us how similar we all were, despite the differences in our backgrounds.
Taking a course in video game development allowed me to explore a completely different area of computer science. I met a lot of people in the industry as I traveled through Denmark and Germany.
My time in Japan taught me how to adapt while remaining true to myself. Exploring Tokyo with friends solidified the experience for me, making ICU and Tokyo feel more like home.
