Wellesley College is a program provider offering 2 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad abroad programs in 2 countries such as Iceland and France.
Students who wish to study abroad may choose from more than 180 programs.
About 45% of Wellesley College juniors elect to study abroad for a semester or a year. Motivation for study abroad is as diverse as our student population. Many students study abroad to perfect a foreign language, or to conduct field research, or to gain a new perspective on their major. Others seek the opportunity to study in a major research university, live in an urban setting, or to experience life in a developing country. Whatever your goals, the Office of International Study wants to work with you to identify the most appropriate host university or study abroad program for an experience that will challenge you and provide you with the opportunity to grow as a global citizen.
Study Abroad with Wellesley College
"I gained a great deal of confidence and undeniably improved my command of French. I'm very glad I went to Aix for the semester--the pace of life is relaxed and slow, and I really felt that I enjoyed life. Lovely food and the beautiful weather."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about the history of Europe and about our development as a country. It was definitely worthwhile. I traveled a lot throughout Europe. "
A student Wellesley College
"My French has definitely improved, and that was my goal. "
A student Wellesley College
"My French improved. I was able to take better notes in class and speak it more fluently. But being an international student, I've already seen the culture and knew what to expect in France, so the experience in Paris and Aix didn't really fascinate me. "
