Many of our students in the School of Visual Communication have taken part in Study Away programs, domestically and abroad. Below are a couple of programs that are currently in place.

Check the Office of Global Opportunities for updated information for Ohio University programs.

Scripps Semester in DC

The Scripps Semester in D.C. program is a collaboration between the School of Visual Communication and the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism. The program gives students the opportunity to learn from industry professionals working in the nation's capital, focusing on journalism (including print, broadcast, data, and photojournalism), strategic communication, commercial photography, UX design, information graphics, data visualization, and publication design.

Cayman Islands

The Grand Cayman program gives students a chance to gain valuable, hands-on experience in fashion photography and videography. Students, who work with an Ohio University alum who works on the Island as a professional photographer, participate in scouting locations, networking with local professionals, preparing for photo and video shoots, creating still images and video, and working through the post-production process.
