Global Education Study Abroad

Expand Your Horizons with Global Education

Westmont is unique in that we offer many faculty-led semester-long programs on a rotating schedule along with programs at over 30 affiliate institutions. We encourage students to schedule a study abroad advising appointment in their first semester on campus to see how they can best prepare for an off-campus experience and fulfill GE, major, minor or elective credit.

  • Global Perspective: Gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and global issues.
  • Career Advantage: Enhance your resume with international experience and cultural competence.
  • Networking: Connect with global leaders, professionals, and peers.
  • Personal Growth: Develop adaptability, independence, and cross-cultural communication skills.
  • Academic Excellence: Study under expert faculty with a global focus.
  • Immersive Learning: Participate in internships, service-learning, and research opportunities abroad.
  • Language Proficiency: Improve or acquire new language skills through immersion.
  • Leadership Skills: Build leadership capabilities through international projects and collaborations.
  • Cultural Exchange: Experience living in a different culture, broadening your worldview.
  • Lifelong Impact: Create lasting memories and relationships that influence your personal and professional life.

Students, our office staff is available to advise you on how an off-campus program can fit into your academic plan. You can use your financial aid (merit- and need-based awards) while enrolled in a semester-long Westmont program or a semester-long affiliate program. If you are considering one of our approved affiliate programs, you must first apply to "request a spot" through our office.  Deadline to submit an application to request a spot for Fall 2025 is November 30, 2024.
