The Stanford at Koç in Istanbul Overseas Studies Program is designed to give Stanford students an integrated study abroad experience in Istanbul and to provide them with an opportunity to experience rigorous academics while at the same time developing a broad awareness, knowledge and appreciation for Türkiye, its culture, and its role within the global ecosystem.
The program is also open for Koç students to take courses with the attending Stanford students. The courses offered within this program are open for selection simultaneously as KU’s Spring semester courses. However, applying Koç students are expected to specify in the application form which courses they wish to select in advance of the course opening.
