Emerson College is a program provider offering 4 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad abroad programs in 3 countries such as United States, Netherlands, and Czech Republic.
Established in 1880, Emerson College is named for its founding president, Charles Wesley Emerson, an orator, preacher, and teacher. Over the years, the institution has evolved from a small New England school of oratory to a multifaceted college with an international reputation.
While Emerson remains committed to its historic mission as a specialized academic institution, its curriculum reflects the emergence of interdisciplinary study as a mode for teaching and learning, and affirms new directions for the fields of communication and the arts.
Throughout its history, Emerson has shown the capacity to respond to the changing educational demands within communication and the arts. It was the first college in New England to establish an educational FM radio station (WERS, 1949), now repeatedly identified in The Princeton Review as the number one student-run college radio station in the country. It was also among the first colleges in the nation to establish a program in children’s theater (1919) and one of the first colleges to offer undergraduate programs in broadcasting (1937).
The College’s other pioneering achievements include:
• Offered professional-level training in speech pathology and audiology (1935);
• Established a closed-circuit television broadcast facility, WERS-TV (1955);
• Created a Bachelor of Fine Arts in film (1972); and
• In 1980, the College initiated a comprehensive graduate-level program in professional writing and publishing—the first such program in the nation specifically designed to meet the expressed needs of the publishing industry.
The College has continued to innovate, adding a Master of Fine Arts in Media Art, a Master of Arts in Health Communication (in partnership with Tufts University School of Medicine), a Bachelor of Science in Marketing Communication, and an undergraduate program in Business and Entrepreneurial Studies.

Study Abroad with Emerson College
"Absolutely worth it."
Carlos N Emerson College

Erin D Emerson College
"Yes - it was an invaluable opportunity. "
Natalie M Emerson College
"I am now more aware of the industry in terms of casting and agencies. I'm glad I got to experience this culture and get to know it. I feel more ready because of the internship I had. "
Melina C Emerson College
"I loved this experience. It taught me how to behave in a work environment and provided experiences I couldn't have found anywhere else. I also was able to earn a second internship with the same internship site for when I returned to Boston. The program really helped me to focus in on what I would like to do after graduation. "
A student
"It was very worthwhile. And fun. Do it."
Taran A Emerson College
"It was not only worthwhile but I don't regret one thing I did while I was there. Would do something similar if I could in a heartbeat."
Kyle B Emerson College
"Y.E.S."
August F Emerson College
"The experience was absolutely worth it! I learned how to travel alone; how to negotiate a foreign city where no one spoke my language; and how European cultures have tangled themselves into a many-stranded net of treaties and wars and religions and beautiful cultures. I definitely plan to travel much more in the future. After..."
Rebecca V Emerson College
"It changed my perspective on everything. At best, I am a cultured, refined student with broadened horizons and a deeper understanding of the world. At the very least, I have some really cool stories to bust out at parties. This time abroad has instilled within me a passion for traveling that I know I will take with me for life."
Mykah M Emerson College
"As far as academics, it wasn't worth it just coming for the classes. But on emphasis with travelling, I saw so many things and met so many different people (outside of Emerson, of course). Europe is an experience so worthwhile on every scale and time period. It's a beautiful place, all of it's contents. This study abroad taught ..."
Elsa H Emerson College
"I think it helped my worldview to see so many different places in person. Everyone knows about other countires but in a way they only become real to you when you visit. Now when i hear a news story about Belgium, I'll connect that to the experiences I had there, I won't just think, "oh yeah, that's a place somewhere, I think the..."
Helen S Emerson College
"I grew up a lot this semester, gained a deeper appreciation of cultures other than my own. I liked going to museums here in the states, but now I love it! Seeing the Mona Lisa and the David in person literally take one's breath away. I'll want to go back as soon as possible. "
Margaret C Emerson College
"One of the best experiences of my life. "
Isabel S Emerson College
"I felt that it was. I learned a lot while I was in LA and generally enjoyed the experience."
Jeff C Emerson College
"Definitely!"
Lauren C Emerson College
"For me, it was definitely worthwhile because everything about it was ideal: elective class credit for Emerson, matched my academic interests exactly, and short enough but long enough to meet new people, travel and learn. I am so glad that I applied because I can use a lot of what I saw, learned and produced in the photography st..."
Meredith C Emerson College
"I had a difficult time living at the castle, but prior to the Kasteel Well program I had never been to Europe and now I've visited 12 major European cities. I didn't get much time in each and I hope to return, but having someplace to live on the continent allowed me to be able to travel so many different places without having to..."
Liz S Emerson College
"Yes. Traveling on weekends is what made the program worthwhile. "
Alexandra H Emerson College
"Yes!"
Taylor T Emerson College
"Absolutely"
