Off-Campus Studies

Whitman Wire: Whitties embark on off-campus studies trips, overcoming obstacles posed by the pandemic

Welcome to Whitman Off-Campus Studies!

We believe that immersion into other cultures and academic viewpoints afforded by study abroad or study in a different US community is an invaluable component of undergraduate education—leading to significant academic and personal growth, development of intercultural communication skills, and a greater understanding of the range of professional and personal possibilities.

We encourage all Whitman students to take advantage of the broad range of off-campus study opportunities available through Whitman—semester, academic year, and summer options—as part of their undergraduate education. To that end, the college strives to reduce financial barriers by providing need-based aid and merit scholarships to eligible participants.

• 45%* of Whitman students participate in an Off-Campus Studies program, including semester-long overseas and U.S.-based studies, as well as summer study abroad opportunities
  *Pre-pandemic enrollments
• 80+ semester and year-long Partner Programs in nearly 40 countries offered each year
• Three semester-long U.S. partner programs
• Students from all majors are able to participate in Off-Campus Studies programs

Developing intercultural skills and global understanding for a lifetime of leadership
