We strongly encourage students to study abroad during one of their junior year semesters. 

In partnership with the Office of International Programs, we are excited to announce our Spring 2024 Policy Task Forces: Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge (UK), and the University of Cape Town (South Africa). If you are planning to study abroad during your junior spring semester, you must register for a Research Seminar in your junior fall semester. 

If you are planning to study abroad during your junior fall semester, you will enroll in courses at the host university and complete your Junior Independent Work remotely and independently with a SPIA faculty member. You must confirm in writing by April 28 of your sophomore year your Fall JP advisor. Please contact Liz Choe (liz.choe@princeton.edu) to discuss this option.

If you want to study abroad in the spring semester of your junior year, you will enroll in coursework at the host university and take a Policy Task Force offered by SPIA with a cohort of SPIA students. The SPIA Task Force abroad is an exciting way to delve deep into country specific policy issues with a local expert alongside your SPIA peers.

Students can reach out to the study abroad team directly with questions or schedule an appointment with your study abroad adviser.
