Travel Opportunities

The School of Architecture and Interior Design has several academic travel opportunities within two broad categories: Academic Travel Programs and International Exchange Programs. Academic Travel Programs are typically led by SAID/DAAP faculty and International Exchange Programs require students to study at another university. It is recommended that SAID undergraduate students travel in the spring or summer of their 3rd year. Graduate students can travel during their Option quarter (see Master of Architecture descriptions for details).
