Welcome

Every year, hundreds of Wayne State students participate in Study Abroad programs and have life-changing experiences.  Whether you are interested in a cultural experience that will reframe the way you see the world, improving skills that will help you get a job, or simply earning credits toward your degree outside of a campus classroom--you can find a program that will fit your needs.  We are dedicated to helping students learn to navigate the world outside of the United States and create memories and skills that will last a lifetime!

"The fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world.  That is so important.  So when you study abroad, you're actually helping to make America stronger." - Michelle Obama
