Overseas and off-campus programs vary considerably in form and content. However, all normally involve language study, academic coursework, field projects, excursions, and a period of residence with host-country families.

In addition, most programs include an intensive orientation prior to departure. Returning students are expected to share their experiences with Lewis & Clark and the Portland community. Despite variations among programs, all belong to one of these three types.

General Culture Programs
General culture programs immerse students in a foreign culture to enable them to learn as much as possible about the area and its history and contemporary issues. At least six such semester programs, focusing on specific areas or cultures, are offered each year in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Since many programs are repeated annually or biennially, students may choose from a variety of programs during their four years at Lewis & Clark. Specific sites include Australia, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, East Africa, Ecuador, England, France, Ghana, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Scotland, Spain, and Vietnam.

Language-Intensive and Departmental Programs
These programs are open to students who meet departmental prerequisites and who are affiliated with the sponsoring department or discipline. Ongoing programs are offered in Chile and the Dominican Republic (Spanish), France and Senegal (French), Germany (German), London (fine arts), Japan (Japanese), Russia (Russian), and China (Chinese). Additional programs are offered on request by academic departments.
Off-Campus Domestic Programs
Off-campus programs are offered in New York City, to study fine arts and theatre, and in Washington, D.C., to study the U.S. government and economy.
