Study Abroad Programs 

The Department of Architecture offers a one-semester study abroad option for students in the BS-Arch program.  Curriculum during this semester is fully aligned with required program coursework in Boston, allowing normal progress towards graduation.  Participation is by application; the program accepts a limited number of students and is selective.

The current study abroad program is based in Berlin and led by a German architect who is a Wentworth faculty member.  During their residence in Berlin, students work closely with German design and planning professionals as well as with German students through an institutional affiliation with the Fachhochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (FHTW). There is also intensive travel-based coursework, which gives students additional perspective.  Commencing Spring 2010, an additional study abroad program based in southern France will be offered for the Built Environment concentration.

The Architecture Department also has an agreement with The Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas, Venezuela, which provides the opportunity for interchange of students via co-op or focused travel / study programs.
