Did you know?
- The W’International Program began in 1978. The program is subsidized by the University to increase access to study abroad to as many students as possible.
- With the W’International Program, you can study abroad for 10 days.
- All W’International programs combine a semester-long course with a study abroad program. You must pass the course in order to study abroad. If you complete both portions (on-campus and study abroad), then you will receive 2 credits.
- W’International programs have traveled to South Korea, Brazil, Denmark, Cuba, the United Kingdom, Costa Rica, Italy, Cambodia, and Egypt–just to name a few! The courses and locations are submitted by faculty each year for selection by a review committee.
