Domestic Programs

Reed has a number of exchange programs for students interested in domestic off-campus study. Students who are interested in these programs are encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser and the international programs director to develop a study plan.

In order to initiate this process, review the study plans for each major and the faculty-approved domestic programs listed below.

Students in good academic standing who are approved by Reed for participation in these programs are able to use their financial aid and are registered as regular students at the college. Students interested in participating in a domestic program must be nominated by the international programs director.
