International Programs

In a global society the true professional artist needs an international consciousness. Through International Programs we offer students and faculty the opportunity to challenge their cultural assumptions and develop as artists and world citizens.

We coordinate a wide variety of initiatives aimed at facilitating cultural and professional exchange by building relationships between Columbia and arts institutions around the globe. These include student and faculty exchange programs with several institutions in Europe, and study abroad opportunities in many countries throughout the world. We also facilitate representation by our faculty and students in major international forums so they may participate in the global debate about issues in arts and media education and practice.

Columbia constantly reaffirms its commitment to promote learning in a global, multicultural setting. The office of International Programs is committed to providing outstanding programming to students of all ages and backgrounds, and to internationalizing the comprehensive learning experience at Columbia College Chicago.
