Widener offers you many options for a life-changing experience in another country. You can travel abroad for academic studies, service-learning, volunteer, or work opportunities. You can pursue these opportunities during the summer, winter, or spring break, a semester, or a full academic year. Living in a different country and experiencing another culture will broaden your horizons and contribute to your understanding of the world while giving you career-building international experience.
Widener faculty members have organized study abroad experiences in countries such as Bolivia, Ecuador, France, Italy, Mexico, and Peru.
