With the simultaneous expansion and compression of the world today, understanding other cultures, languages, and countries is important, whether you’re an environmental engineer, artist, architect, accountant, or historian. Washington University offers many ways to incorporate international study into your undergraduate program.

Each undergraduate school has developed an array of study abroad programs that enhance the strengths of our undergraduate programs. Summer, semester, and full-year programs allow you to earn credit toward your major or minor while studying abroad.

Each year, our undergraduates study in more than 50 different countries. In recent years, select groups of students have had unique opportunities to study with our faculty in summer programs in Ecuador, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
