Preserve the Past, Create the Future
History, culture, and art bind us together. How we preserve them, think of them, and display them speaks volumes for the state of our societies. Are we learning from the complicated past? Are we setting the stage for a better future? SRAS programs are designed empower you with international and cross-cultural perspectives on history, literature, art, music, food, language, sociology, and more. We offer specialized programs in such forward-looking fields as museum science, cultural diplomacy, and identity studies. Join us abroad to build your knowledge, resume, and perhaps a better tomorrow.
Study Abroad is Flexible
SRAS offers options to fit your needs. Looking for a shorter program that can still build your resume? See our affordable spring break or short-term intensive summer options. Can’t go abroad right now but still want the benifit of a realtime connection to local perspectives? See our online courses. Just looking to get your feet wet before study abroad or to keep a foot on a ground afterwards? See our free events. And keep in mind that you’ll gain the deepest, broadest perspectives with a full semester, summer, or academic year abroad.
Study Abroad is Challenging
SRAS works specifically in non-traditional study abroad locations that will greatly expand your worldview by showing you just how different societies, cultures, and markets can be. Where should you study abroad? Where you will grow the most!

We had a great time overall. The students were super impressed with SRAS — the guides, the accommodations, the excursions, etc. The guides were super knowledgeable and kind–the only thing that would improve the tours is volume. They tend to speak quietly so a few people who can’t hear lose interest. But we loved the Hermitage art project and Novgorod, and the bunker, and going behind the fountains at Peterhof, and the boat to Peterhof… We loved everything!

A long overdue thank you for the wonderful trip you and your staff planned for the Drew group in St. Petersburg. I have never had a trip where NOTHING went wrong. It was a terrific experience from start to finish, your staff was superb and St. Petersburg Economics University was a marvelous host. We enjoyed each and every lecture and guide, and the many fine added touches. I would love to do this again.

My Dear Renee, I am still in Kazakhstan but can report back we had a perfectly splendid time in Kyrgyzstan. The students and I want to collectively buy a little plot of land and a yurt or house in the village at the base of the mountains. They loved their families and I fell in love with Kenzhe, we want to include her in our documentary. I will be in touch over the next two weeks. Forever grateful to you.

Thanks again to (SRAS Assistant Director) Josh Wilson for being so helpful with getting us started! At our concluding discussion class yesterday I asked the students to write and then present five “Kliuchevykh slov” about their experience. Several of them wound up referencing Josh’s comments about trying to observe without judging, which he made during the Moscow Walking Tour. Thanks for helping me teach this course!

Renee, the work that you do is so far beyond any kind of formal service or trip planning in your vision, scope, and ability to think of absolutely everything and anticipate potential problems in advance. You clearly have a gift for this.

The SRAS guides were excellent! They really knew their stuff and were able to relate the history of the places we visited in an interesting and inventive way. It was obvious they had a lot of experience working with American students.
