Study Abroad and W'International
Our signature W’International Program allows eligible juniors to study abroad for 10 days for $1,500. We offer new and challenging topics and destinations developed by the faculty each year.
You’ll also find study abroad courses offered by academic departments, such as Intensive Immersion Spanish. The Office of Internships and Career Services helps to coordinate internship programs abroad during the summer months.
Outside programs may be approved for Wingate University credit. Examples include:
- Approved internships
- Approved summer programs

Did you know?
- The W’International Program began in 1978. The program is heavily subsidized by the University to allow all Wingate students to have the opportunity to study abroad.
- With the W’International Program, you can study abroad for 10 days for $1,500 (depending on the program location).
- 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, Cuba, the United Kingdom, Costa Rica, Cambodia, and Egypt–just to name a few! The courses and locations are submitted by faculty each year for selection by a review committee.
- Students can sign up for the W’International program during the spring of their sophomore year, and join the program during their junior year (eligibility allowing).
