Pre-departure Orientation

Whitman College requires all study abroad/OCS participants to attend a mandatory Pre-departure Orientation the semester before going abroad. During the orientation we discuss health and safety, academics abroad, financial aid, cultural differences, international travel, and other important information. There will also be an opportunity at the orientation for students to speak with other Whitties who previously studied on their program about what to expect while overseas.
