For Undergraduate Students

The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies is a place for undergraduates to learn, discover international opportunities, make global connections, and grow as leaders and citizens of the world. 

Connect with us. You’ll find the community and support you need.

“The number one lesson I got from the experience was the importance of being teachable,” says Eliana Amoh ’26. “I had to go outside of my comfort zone.” Eliana spent her summer in Ghana working as a Global Intern with Lead for Ghana, an educational nonprofit that works to cultivate leaders who can drive systemic and social change throughout Ghana.

We're made up of nine regional and thematic programs that specialize in every region of the world. Whether you want to go abroad, complete a minor, study a language, or get involved in global research, you'll find a supportive network at the Einaudi Center.
