Study Abroad
Do you take global issues personally? We help you build on your coursework to create bright moments and brilliant connections away from campus, then bring those unique experiences back to enrich the whole community.
Three Ways to Study Away
We understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to studying off-campus. It’s why we offer three different ways to study away.
- semester or year-long courses, programs, and internships with partner institutions around the world;
- domestic study and internship programs in New York, D.C., and Philadelphia;
- 2-3 week faculty-led programs as the culmination of a semester-long course.
Partnership Programs Abroad
Warren Wilson College holds exchange agreements or partnerships with institutions in a number of countries to ensure the smooth transition of transferring credit. There are also various opportunities for you to participate in Intern + Study programs internationally. These often include a part-time internship in a field relevant to your major and career interests with accompanying academic seminars. You can gain a full semester’s worth of credit through such programs with prior approval.
Domestic Study Away
You can study away from campus for a semester to gain experience in urban environments. Domestic internship programs include housing, placement at an internship site relevant to your interests, and complementary academic seminars.
Domestic Internship Programs Include:
- Washington Center
- New York Arts Program
- Philadelphia Center
Faculty-Led Courses
Warren Wilson College study away courses provide fifteen weeks of on-campus coursework, class meetings, and orientation sessions prior to travel. Course work in-country fits into your summer or winter break schedules with travel for two to four weeks. You can continue to travel after the course is complete, so long as you complete your coursework! You’ll be asked to reflect on your experiences and share your observations and stories with the community.
