Ithaca College offers opportunities to study in Australia through exchange programs with several different universities.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Students from any major may participate in Ithaca College's Australian exchange programs. Ithaca currently has exchange relationships with four Australian universities. All four of these universities offer courses in a wide range of subject areas. Consult with the Office of International Programs to find out which one offers the most for your major.

Griffith University
has several campuses located on or near Australia's Gold Coast. Students generally study at the Gold Coast campus in Surfer's Paradise.

La Trobe University
is located just outside of Melbourne, the cultural hub of Australia, with a satellite campus in the outback.

Murdoch University
is located near Fremantle, right outside of Perth, on Australia's west coast, an area well-known for it's beaches and wineries.

The University of Tasmania
is located in Hobart, on the beautiful island of Tasmania, south of mainland Australia.

Accommodation
in Australia varies by university and campus, but the International Centers at all four universities will assist exchange students in making arrangements for accommodation in the universities' residence halls or in off-campus apartments. Enrollment is limited to two students per university, per semester.
