Mission Statement

One of the founding principles of the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering was that each student should have the opportunity to have a learning experience “away” from the College. This ideal was articulated early in the creation of the college with the expressed objective of having students learn to be citizens of the world. The Olin Away Program was created to deliver on this principle, and provide students with the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and views of the world.
