Study Abroad
Unlock Your Global Potential
Travel and immerse yourself in a new culture, language and environment while still pursuing your academic program.
Why Study Abroad?
Study Abroad offers a transformative journey that will broaden your horizons, enrich your academic experience, and shape your future. Immerse yourself in a new culture and language, explore fresh perspectives in your field of study, and gain a professional edge.
Global Fluency
Employers value candidates who possess a global perspective. Study Abroad experiences demonstrate your ability to adapt to diverse environments, navigate cultures different from your own, and understand international contexts.
Academic Enrichment
Take advantage of experiential learning opportunities that you won’t find at home. Learn from and forge connections with peers, professors, and professionals from around the world. Study Abroad programs can lead to valuable career opportunities, mentorship, and insights into global industries and markets.
Personal Growth
Study Abroad cultivates cultural awareness, empathy, and an appreciation of diversity. Navigating unfamiliar environments and language barriers builds resilience and problem-solving skills. Stepping outside your comfort zone helps you discover and develop new strengths and understand your weaknesses.
It's Affordable!
Study Abroad is more affordable than you might think. There are some options that cost nearly the same as a semester at Wilkes. Not to mention the financial aid and scholarship options to help fund your studies.
