Herron’s faculty-led study abroad programs are some of the most powerful ways to discover the impact of art and design in the world and over time.
Because our programs are supported by lectures, readings, and group discussions, you will earn credits in art history and studio art while reflecting and making sense of your experiences abroad.

Since 2009, Herron School of Art and Design has been an official educational partner for the Venice Biennale Sessions. Students participating in "Exploring Art in Italy" from May 13 to June 6, 2019, will attend the prestigious 58th Annual International Art Exhibition organized by La Biennalie di Venezia.
Herron’s study abroad programs are led by full-time Herron faculty members during spring break and summer terms. Students earn credits in art history or studio art that easily satisfy degree requirements.
In addition to credits, students leave host countries with an experience of a lifetime. All Herron study abroad programs are designed to expand students’ awareness of art and design issues in an international context, while also deepening their understanding of a foreign culture.
