Welcome to Whitman College Off-Campus Studies! 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 a key to developing
future leaders in an increasingly interdependent global society. In
keeping with that view, the College encourages qualified students to
study abroad either in a foreign country or on a U.S. Partner Program
during their college careers. We are here to help you make your off-campus
studies plans a reality!
