Four ways to widen your world
Education abroad isn't just one single thing or program—there are literally hundreds of opportunities. Whatever way suits you best, the WSU International Programs office is devoted to helping you get going.
It's a life-changing academic adventure you don't want to miss.
1. Faculty-led programs
Developed specifically for WSU students and led by WSU faculty.
Most of these programs run during the summer, though a few run during the school year. They generally range from 10 days to 8 weeks long. Most are open to students in any major, though a few are tied to specific WSU programs. The College of Business, for example, offers semester-long programs for business majors.
2. Exchanges
If you want complete immersion in another culture, our exchange programs are the answer.
You'll enroll directly at a foreign university for a semester or a year, sponsored by WSU or the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), but you will pay WSU tuition. Best of all, your WSU financial aid and scholarships still apply. Space is limited, so exchange admission may be competitive.
3. Academic internships
Academic credit, work experience, and the benefit of living in another country—all at once. Internships are available all over the world and range from 2 weeks in the summer to a semester to a full year. Often they can be arranged through Study Abroad (see below).
4. Study abroad programs
Study abroad programs can be a summer, a semester, or a year in length, and can often be combined with internship credit. These programs are run by international education organizations that contract with universities in the U.S. and abroad. The WSU Education Abroad office can help you find and apply to WSU-affiliated programs that fit you.
