Study Abroad

Study Abroad

Discover the World

The opportunity to both travel and study can be a life-changing experience. It will leave you with a firsthand understanding of our increasingly global society, an appreciation for other cultures and their business and political institutions, and often with improved foreign language skills. International travel can make you a stronger candidate for graduate school and a more marketable employee for today's increasingly global workforce. 

Faculty-Led Short-Term Travel Courses

Short seminar travel courses (typically 7-10 days) can be an eye-opening, career-building experience. Recent faculty-led travel courses have visited such destinations as Australia, China, France, Guatemala, the Czech Republic, England, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Nicaragua, Peru, and Spain. Where will your professors take you?

Learning Outside the Classroom

Study abroad is a transformative experience that crosses disciplines, cultures, and borders. WNE offers a wide variety of study abroad opportunities to fit your schedule and your interests. Discover how you can embark on the trip of a lifetime!
