The department offers a number of opportunities to study abroad including:

Taxco - Studio Arts and the Mexican Aesthetic
On this summer program, Professor George Rivera and students spend three weeks at Hacienda “El Chorrillo”, built in late 1800’s and now the home of Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Centro de Extension Academica, Taxco, Guerrero. Taxco is a small silver mining area where metal arts have thrived since the founding of the community. Taxco is located in the mountains three and a half hours south of Mexico City. Students will experience art-making from a cross cultural perspective, learn how the arts are woven into the fabric of everyday life of Mexican culture and meet students from around the world that share a common interest in the arts.

19th & 20th Century French Art - Paris
This summer program offers an exceptional opportunity to study 19th & 20th Century French Art in Paris. It combines formal instruction with visits to the great museums of Paris and to architectural sites in and around the city. Classes at the Vidéothèque de Paris for viewing films, or the discovery of photography at La Maison Européenne de la Photographie allow students to consider painting and sculpture in relation to the revolutionary inventions of photography and film. In addition, the program examines African, African American, and Japanese contributions to French culture.
