University of St Andrews

Whitman students may enroll directly at the University of St Andrews in Scotland as visiting students through an agreement with Whitman College. Founded in 1413, St Andrews is the oldest university in Scotland and is located in a picturesque medieval town overlooking the sea. The University enrolls about 7,000 students, including a significant number of students from the US and other foreign countries. English literature, history, international relations, religion, economics, philosophy, biology, biochemistry, math and physics are among the many disciplines that students may enroll in there. In addition to enrolling in classes alongside with local students, students attending St Andrews may join the many clubs and activities available to regular students.

“If you don't want to worry about a different language/culture, a host family, or a completely different school system, but still want to try something different from Whitman for a semester (which was what I wanted), then I think Scotland is a GREAT place to go. It was a way for me to push my comfort zone just a little bit while exploring a beautiful country with wonderful people and have random adventures along the way I never would have had if I'd stayed at Whitman.” - Brooke T. ‘18
