Study Abroad Programs in Dominica

The island nation of Dominica is located in the West Indies, where you’ll encounter ample plants, animal, and bird species among lush landscapes. With a blend of African, Caribbean, American, British, and French influences, you’ll discover a cultural mosaic here as well. We’ve searched high and low, and here are the best places to study abroad in Dominica. 

Roseau. The capital and largest city of Dominica is located in the south on the western coast. Here you’ll ogle at French colonial architecture, extensive botanical gardens, and the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The University of the West Indies is located in Roseau, which is open to majors from communications to human resources management. Be sure to enjoy natural hot water baths and the Boiling Lake after you ace your exams!

Portsmouth. You’ll find the second largest city of Dominica on the Indian River in the northwestern coast with less than 3,000 residents. Watch a cricket game at Benjamin's Park, visit the farmer’s market during the week, and snap pics of wetlands while you trek the area and coral reefs as you dive down under at Cabrits National Park. Don’t forget your studies, too.

Calibishie. This village town is located on the northern coast of Dominica with plenty of beaches to catch some rays or surf some waves. Even scenes from “Pirates of the Caribbean” were filmed here — so “island school” just got way cooler! From the rugged mountains to the bathing pools to the rainforests, students who love nature will want to visit this little piece of paradise. You might just even spot the Jaco parrot.
