College of Arts and Sciences Study Away
Our objective in the CAS Study Away Office is that every CAS undergraduate student has the opportunity to have a significant international or domestic off-campus experience during their time at Redlands.
We see this as a critical and integral part of their liberal arts education. Available to students from all CAS departments and programs, off-campus study provides a unique opportunity for academic and personal learning and growth that is not possible to gain while on campus in Redlands. The benefits are numerous, from increased language acquisition and intercultural experience to greater personal resilience and maturity.
