Intercollegiate Sri Lanka Education (ISLE) offers undergraduate students a unique opportunity to study in Sri Lanka.

Avukana Buddha

ISLE is an atypical study abroad program. It is a demanding academic and intense cultural experience designed for highly motivated students with interests in various aspects of South Asian cultures and societies. Past students have found studying in Sri Lanka enriching in many ways: intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. Students with an open mind who are ready to be challenged will find the ISLE program a deeply rewarding study abroad experience. 

The Early Decision Deadline for both semesters is December 1st. Thereafter, applications are accepted on a rolling admissions basis until March 1st for the Fall Program and October 7th for the Spring Program.
