Off-campus Study Options

The most common option is to spend a semester in the Budapest Semester in Mathematics in Budapest, Hungary, to study under the tutelage of eminent Hungarian scholar-teachers with courses taught in English.  A recently adopted similar program is Math in Moscow, in Moscow, Russia.  Other overseas affiliated universities offering courses in mathematics taught in English include: Trinity College Dublin, the Universities of Sussex and East Anglia, and Oxford University.  Students with requisite language background can also study mathematics on Reed programs in Germany, France, Ecuador, and Spain.
