Whitman College Study Abroad
Welcome to Whitman College study abroad! We believe that an understanding of a culture or region other than one’s own is an important part of a liberal arts education and a key to developing future leaders in an increasingly interdependent global society. In keeping with that view, the College encourages qualified students to study abroad either in a foreign country or on an affiliated domestic program in the United States during their college careers. We are here to help you make your off campus studies plans a reality!
45% of the junior class studies abroad for one semester or the academic year. |
Whitman is partnered with various study abroad organizations to offer 39 affiliated programs in 24 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania. |
Whitman also offers three urban-based affiliated domestic programs in Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and the Semester in the West environmental studies program that travels in the western U.S. |
Students can apply their Whitman need-based aid and merit scholarships toward the fees of all 39 affiliated programs. |
