Wesleyan provides a rich array of opportunities for its students to study abroad through the programs it administers, wholly or in part, in China, England, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Spain. Each of these programs is closely monitored by a department on campus. In each case, the course of study available at the foreign program site is integral to the Wesleyan curriculum.
Most programs offer a varied selection of courses in the humanities and social sciences.
Non-majors are encouraged to apply. By administering these programs, Wesleyan offers students the opportunity to study abroad in a situation designed to provide the same academic quality that characterizes academic work on campus. For this reason, students intending to study abroad should give the highest priority to Wesleyan's own programs. It has become increasingly important due to changes in international politics and economics. For most students, total immersion in the culture and language of another country is the best path to becoming bilingual.
