See the world – and your field – from a new perspective.

Study abroad gives you the chance to experience new cultures, discover new places, explore the subjects you care about, and build skills that will stay with you long after you return to WSU.

From art, history, and languages to science, the environment, politics, and culture, the College of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities to expand your education beyond the classroom.

Where will your degree take you?

Your major is just the starting point.

CAS study abroad programs connect what you’re learning at WSU with real places, people, cultures, and challenges around the world.

Depending on the program, you might:

  • Study art, architecture, history, or culture where it happened
  • Practice another language through immersive, everyday experiences
  • Explore ecosystems and environmental challenges directly in the field
  • Examine politics, society, and global issues from a new perspective
  • Participate in research, creative work, or hands-on learning
  • Complete coursework while experiencing life in another country
