At Whitman, we believe that an understanding of a culture or region other than one”s own is an important part of a liberal arts education and key to developing future leaders in an increasingly interdependent global society.

Nearly half of all Whitman students studies abroad for at least one semester during their four years here choosing from among 38 Whitman-affiliated programs and over 170 approved programs in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Western Europe and Oceania. Whether a student wants to enroll directly at a Scottish university, engage in field studies related on development issues in East Africa, study music in Vienna, or conduct scientific research from a field station in Costa Rica”s rain forest, there is something for everyone.
