Switzerland is a country in Western Europe where about 2,000 American students study abroad each year. Switzerland has two major economic centres: Zurich and Geneva. The country is situated among the Swiss Alps, which provide a diverse range of geographical features such as mountains, forests, open pastures, and large lakes. Despite its location in the Swiss Alps, Switzerland has a mild climate. Switzerland’s culture is very diverse due to its location between many different European countries, making it an excellent place to study abroad. It is a directory of international education opportunities in Switzerland that includes university-level study abroad, internships, volunteer opportunities, and intensive language school programmes geared toward American college and university students. Some pre-college and post-graduate options are also available.
