Wheaton’s study abroad programs are carefully vetted for academic rigor and student support. Each program offers high-quality courses in a variety of fields, including some specialized curricula in visual arts, environmental sciences, religion, education and languages.
Students have the opportunity to learn from international experts, take courses not available to them at Wheaton, pursue more independent intellectual endeavors, and gain professional work experiences through internships and research. Through these transformative experiences, students fully engage with another culture exposing them to different perspectives and encouraging self-reflection.
Your journey starts here!
Wheaton offers exciting global opportunities including semester or academic year abroad, international and domestic options, short-term faculty-led experiences, and external summer programs.
Applications are due each October 1 and March 1.
