Diversity & Inclusion
DIS is dedicated to ensuring that all students have a platform for discussion and dialogue regarding diversity abroad. The Diverse Identities and Students of Color Affinity Groups welcome students to gather, share stories and experiences, and contribute to a community surrounding the topic of diversity. They are facilitated by locals and have meetups throughout the semester.
Sweden and Denmark regularly top the list as the world’s most LGBTQIA+-friendly countries. At DIS, we are committed to building an open and supportive community. The LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group welcomes queer people and allies. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join the regular meetups, which take place throughout the semester. The meetups seek to provide spaces for students to explore their identities and build community, while also gaining local insights.
DIS is committed to supporting neurodivergent students though our collaborative and iterative approach. We encourage students to reach out, as early as possible, to healthaccommodation@disabroad.org to discuss their study abroad plans, share any accommodation requests and understand more about the DIS program options.

Impact
We are part of a sector that revolves around travel and thereby generates substantial carbon emissions. This fact makes it particularly critical to be intentional about our sustainability efforts, focusing on the capabilities of DIS as a Scandinavia-based, non-profit study abroad organization, to make the most meaningful impact we can. Through our Going Greener initiatives we are working on: reducing our carbon footprint, enhancing out carbon handprint by preparing students for a carbon-constrained world, and collaborating with peers to accelerate the field's response to the climate crisis. We also offer courses focusing on climate and sustainability.
Program Highlights
- Create your own semester: Choose a Core Course from 26 academic programs and select from over 240 upper-level elective courses. Your freedom of choice extends to your housing, where you apply for living arrangements that best fit you.
- Engage in high-impact courses: Learn how concepts and issues are perceived, lived, and theorized in Europe, and reflect on the cultural norms and values that shape you.
- Build your knowledge in new settings: Turn Copenhagen into your classroom on local Field Studies. Hone your skills in research or labs, studio, practicum, or workshops.
- Explore Europe on Study Tour: Travel with your class and faculty on two course-integrated Study Tours in Europe.
- Get to know the locals: Live in a Homestay, join a local club or organization, sign up for a Danish Language and Culture course, attend evening seminars, and more.
Response from DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia
Hi Michael,
We regret that your summer abroad did not go as planned. All DIS students sign a code of conduct and understand that violations include sanctions up to and including dismissal. DIS, like U.S. institutions, take the code very seriously as an education tool and rarely dismiss a student from the program. Dismissal only occurs after repeated or very serious violations. More information can be found here: https://disabroad.org/summer/student-resources/student-conduct/
Best regards,
DIS – Study Abroad in Scandinavia
