Beyond the Classroom
Choose one or choose many
You don’t have to enroll in classes to take advantage of global opportunities at the Keough School.
The Keough School provides a wide range of options to gain firsthand exposure to global affairs beyond an academic major or minor. Explore research opportunities in the country of your choosing, or apply your skills in hands-on internships and language study programs in the U.S. and overseas. Go beyond the classroom to explore further, dig deeper, and discover a world of opportunities.
Explore in greater depth your field of study and connect with professors and mentors.
