Faculty led Global Learning Programs

Western’s faculty-led study abroad programs are called Global Learning Programs. Most programs average two to three weeks, but some are as short as one week and as long as eight weeks. What makes these programs special is that you will get to study your academic discipline in an applied way with your professor and a cohort of ten to 15 peers.

Instead of studying art history from slides, you would stand in front of the original pieces in Japan. Instead of practicing Spanish in a Miller Hall classroom, you would spend an immersive month in Guanajuato, Mexico engaged in community-based learning. Instead of just reading West African literature, you will go to Senegal and interact with gritos, scribes, and marabouts.

Most of these programs are offered in the summer, with a smaller selection offered during fall, winter, and spring terms. You will be charged Western tuition and earn Western credit. These programs fill quickly, so secure your spot as soon as possible with your $1,000 down payment toward the total cost.
