Individuals who participate in study abroad programs gain invaluable language and culture immersion and get a sense of what it means to be a part of a global community. Winthrop University offers students, faculty, and staff numerous opportunities to study abroad in order to promote international education and research. If you are interested in studying abroad, you can choose from programs offered by the International Center or from the Department of World Languages and Cultures summer programs. Information about summer programs offered by members of the World Languages and Cultures Department will be posted here as it becomes available.
Many of our faculty are interested in leading study abroad trips over the next few years. If you are interested in participating in a faculty-led study abroad experience, please contact our Administrative Specialist. We want to make sure our students have the opportunity to take their language learning outside the classroom and experience the parts of the world they find interesting.
In addition to programs offered by the Department of World Languages & Cultures, students have the opportunity to participate in programs offered by third-party organizations. Eligibility, length of program, and languages offered may vary across programs, but your language professor and the International Center can help you find the right program for you.
