Before speaking with us:

1. Make sure to read more about each program under “Program Locations” to learn about the academic opportunities and the unique personality of each program. In some cases, the program is tailored to a particular subset of students- i.e., Australia has a major focus on Ecology and Environmental Science, whereas Kyoto provides coursework that complements an Engineering degree. In other cases, the program can be adapted to the needs of the individual student. You can also click here to see a summary of all BOSP programs compared.
