Off-Campus Study

Students at Ripon can take advantage of numerous off-campus study programs which are offered through the college's affiliation with the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. Among these programs, of particular interest to English majors are The Arts of London and Florence, in which coursework in art and architecture, drama, literature and history is supplemented by excursions to museums, galleries and theaters in England and Italy; The Newberry Library program in Chicago, which provides students with an opportunity to tap into the millions of books and manuscripts held by this leading center of research in the humanities; and the Chicago Semester in the Arts, which exposes students to Chicago's vital arts scene with introductions to contemporary theater, visual art and performance, music, dance, literature and film.

Ripon College operates several programs independently, including the Ripon and York St John Exchange. Traditional ties between Ripon, Yorkshire, England, and Ripon, Wisconsin, led to the establishment of a student exchange program with the College of Ripon and York St. John. Students from England trade places with Ripon College students for one semester of residence and study. This program is geared particularly toward students with interests in literature and history.
