Study Abroad

Earn college credit while traveling abroad. WCC offers a variety of study abroad opportunities, from one-week cultural immersion trips to three year intensive language studies. Most WCC students who have studied abroad earned scholarship money that covered most or all of their travel expenses. 

WCC Study Abroad programs are currently on hold. We hope to offer our students new opportunities for international learning again in the spring of 2021.
