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
"Yes. "
Alexander S Emerson College
"Yes it was definitely worthwhile, I gained a lot of knowledge I hadn't previously known about the Netherlands and the Dutch culture. The country is small which makes for great exploration. I feel like it has changed me for the better, I'm a more independent person and has sparked some creativity for me."
Erica K Emerson College
"Overall, I am definitely glad I did it. There were certain things that were disappointing, but also certain things that surpassed my expectations."

Milan A Emerson College
"Absolutely. I gained so much more cultural knowledge."
Ashley M Emerson College
"yes"
Ben G Emerson College
"I had a wonderful internship and learned a lot. I enjoyed exploring the area, but ultimately came to the decision that LA was not the city for me. This program provided me with a safe "crash course" in Los Angeles and I truly value my experience there. "
Katharine D Emerson College
"i gained a working knowledge of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and developed connections that will help my future career."
David N Emerson College
"ABSOLUTELY worthwhile! Being a political comm. major I need to know about the world and I think seeing the world is important and through this program I got to see so many different places and learn about a TOTALLY different culture! I cannot express how amazing it truly was!"
Margaret S Emerson College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I'm remaining in LA to try to find a job and through the program, I am more comfortable doing so."
Arielle S Emerson College
"I was mixed about whether I should go to LA, but I could not be happier with my decision to participate in the program! Not many journalism students go, however even if you are not interested in entertainment news, journalism is everywhere and it is nice/important to experience different places. "
Courtney S Emerson College
"YES!"
A student Emerson College
"I was very grateful to be able to be in the middle of the film world and see it from the eyes of a student before being thrust into it. It made me feel more prepared."
Doug S Emerson College
"Yes - solidified that this is where I have to be for what I want to be doing and acclimated me to the city -- was a good transition step, since I knew I was going to move out here after graduation it was great to have experience in the city as a student when I still had the cushion of friends and Emerson programs."
Robin Z Emerson College
"Too much to list. I can probably never afford to go back to Europe and do it all over again so it was truly a trip of a lifetime. Every single day spent away from Well was a challenge and I was able to share it with my best friend (while making new friends that I'll keep forever). My advice: however you do it, go to Europe an..."
Marisa G Emerson College
"Changed my life a lot, for the better. Got braver. Did things I never did before, both in travel and later in social situations as I started warming up to my peers. The experience is a good one for shy people, I think."
Noah B Emerson College
"Great working and social environment."
Dan H Emerson College
"Definitely. It has helped me to relate better to people, be aware of how I am interaction with people of different cultures, and really appreciate my life in the States. If I could do it over, I think I'd stay in a different country, but I would never take this trip back; it was such a good learning experience."
Karen H Emerson College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I feel as though I was removed from my "American bubble" and feel more a part of the world as a whole now. I've learned how other people live their lives and what they believe in, and that there is no one way to do something right, and that is probably the most valuable lesson I've learned so far ..."

"The classes were ridiculous, with very little academic or thought inducing satisfaction, but the internship was the main aspect of the experience anyway, so it was good overall."
Daniel I Emerson College
"Of course. It was amazing. I got to live elsewhere, where it's warm and skateboard friendly, I had a kick-ass paid internship, which was basically like having a full time job, loved my coworkers, spend quality time with my girlfriend, got other jobs on set, got a job offer from my internship site, and will probably move back in ..."
