ITALY, SWITZERLAND, FRANCE, ENGLAND
STUDY ABROAD GENERAL EDUCATION (SAGE)

Experience Europe through dance, food, and culture on a spectacular BYU Study Abroad! Journey across Italy, Switzerland, France, and England, exploring how movement, culture, and cuisine shape identity and community. Savor handmade pasta in Italy, dance in historic venues, and enjoy each day as a feast for the senses. Perfect for students in dance, humanities, global studies, or culinary arts, this program blends academic depth with cultural immersion.

Visit iconic landmarks, connect with international artists and chefs, and grow spiritually, intellectually, and creatively. With faculty-led excursions and hands-on learning, you’ll leave with lifelong memories, meaningful friendships, and a global perspective—plus plenty of gelato and fresh baguettes! Enjoy Europe’s springtime, without the oppressive heat and crowds that fill the city and its museums later in the year.
 
We'll visit Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento (Amalfi Coast), Florence, Cinque Terre, Venice, Milan, Zurich, Lucerne, Paris, Versailles, Mont St. Michel, Blackpool, and end the term in London, England.

Preparation

During the semester before departure, students are required to participate in a once-a-week preparation course (IAS 201R, 1 credit hour). This evening course will be held on Mondays from 4 to 6 PM during the second block of winter semester 2027.

Part-time BYU students and non-BYU students pay an additional tuition fee.

International study programs are physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding, so you must be in good health to participate. These programs often take place in locations that do not have the same level of safety and services in terms of transportation, living conditions, residential accommodations, food, public behavior, and policing that you may be used to on campus. If you have further questions or concerns on this, please see our travel policy.
