Learning Outside the Classroom and the Country!

Independent study abroad opportunities to every corner of the world are available to Ohio Dominican students through the International Office. However, in addition to these independent programs, faculty and staff members have the opportunity to lead short-term trips to destinations outside of the US in order to enhance students’ learning of the curriculum through application and experience in real-world setting.
