Study Abroad Information Sessions - NEW!

Our Study Abroad Information Sessions are designed to answer many questions you may have regarding the different types of opportunities available to WKU students...

  • credit transfer
  • financial aid
  • scholarship opportunities
  • application process

... and how to discover your own unique academic and personal goals for your abroad experience.

These sessions are the first step in preparing for your program abroad and will give you a good foundation from which you may make an informed program choice.

The sessions will be ongoing every semester, and Spring Semester sessions will be announced soon.

Wednesday December 2 Grise Hall 141 2 pm - 3 pm

You do not need to RSVP to attend a session, but if you have any questions about the session, you may contact Melinda Farmer or call 270-745-6146.

While these sessions are designed for students, we welcome any interested faculty or staff member to attend a session.

Things to Consider

Choosing the right program for you is the most important part of the process.

The five key questions for you are:

1. Where do you want to go?

2. What do you want to get from the experience?

3. When do you want to go?

4. How long do you want to be abroad?

5. How do you plan for pay for it?

Some students choose based on location, others base their decision on academic need, but most students consider both when making their decision. There is no wrong answer when searching for a program. Everyone is different.

WKU and our affiliates offer a wide variety of programs in different countries, on different continents, with different courses, at different times of the year. The study abroad staff can help match the things that are important to you and the programs that are available.
