Study Abroad Office
The Study Abroad Office helps students identify the study abroad program best suited to meet their academic and cultural interests. Studying abroad is one of many academic options that Northwest students from all academic areas are invited to experience. Whether a faculty-led, summer, semester, or academic year-long program, students have the opportunity to earn Northwest credit abroad, while gaining exposure to a new educational system and culture. Students broaden their horizons by traveling to an international location to study with local citizens and/or international students to experience global living. Study Abroad advisors link students with academic advisors, financial aid counselors, and other student service providers to plan a rewarding interaction and educational experience. Most Study Abroad programs are taught in English, so knowing the local language is not a requirement for study.
