University Information
The Office of Study Abroad works with students, faculty, administrators, and program providers to ensure that students participate in substantive educational programs in other countries, and that said programs form a meaningful part of a coherent whole within the major and the overall Wesleyan undergraduate degree. Intellectually rigorous study abroad is integral to the University's efforts to internationalize the curriculum and prepare students for global citizenship. In the Wesleyan context, internationalization also includes encouragement of language and area studies, the development of opportunities for study and research abroad for all students and faculty, and the involvement of faculty in incorporating international perspectives into the curriculum.

"Australia was a really fun time, but unfortunately, I look back on it in a negative light because of the way IFSA Butler handled an academic misunderstanding. It was worthwhile in terms of life experience, but not worth the destruction of my GPA, which I had spent years building just to have IFSA Butler wreck it by stubbornly re..."

"I learned so much about sailing, nautical science, ocean policy, marine biology, and what it takes to live aboard a tall ship and work together with a group of people who are all part of the same mission."

"New cultural and historical understanding of the countries I visited. How to live and enjoy life on my own. "

"Quito has a completely different pace of life than what I am used to in the U.S. Ecuadorians are never on time and value friendships and relationships with people above anything else. I really enjoyed spending 5 months in a place with a different mindset (about school, work, spending time with family, food, etc), and I have been..."

Lia V Wesleyan University
"Yes. It was such a good experience living and bonding with my home-stay mates and just roaming around the city. Especially coming from a rural background, the study abroad gave me a much more expansive experience."
Lee W Wesleyan University
"London is a true crossroads of the world. Within the city I was able to experience so many different cultures, by meeting such a huge variety of people all brought together in one place. The Victoria and Albert Museum is a can't miss, along with the British Museum. Being a hub of European travel, London is also a great jumping-o..."
