Study abroad Opportunities

PULLMAN WSU Pullman's bi-annual Education Abroad Fair will feature a pre event for faculty, staff and advisers to discuss their students' needs and find study abroad opportunities suited to them.The Advisers Global Tour will be 8:30-10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, in the CUB junior ballroom. Employees will discuss specific study-abroad opportunities suited to the academic needs of their students with representatives from 20+ international education organizations that partner with WSU.

Registration is not required, but it will enable the Education Abroad Office to design a tour specific to a participant's curricular area. Registered participants will come away with a minimum of five strong program options for their students on two or more continents.
The Education Abroad Fair will be 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, in the CUB junior ballroom. It is open to WSU students from all academic disciplines.More than 20 education abroad program providers will be on hand to discuss study and internship opportunities in more than 40 countries. Students are encouraged to study abroad to enhance their education and gain a global perspective on their area of study.Students attending the fair will be eligible to enter a raffle for a chance to win 50 percent off the WSU Education Abroad application fee.

WSU faculty will be available to share information on their summer and semester programs abroad. Faculty-led programs are growing in popularity and offer a unique opportunity for in-depth, field-based study abroad while taking WSU courses.Students also can learn about exchange-program options. Exchanges are considered full-immersion programs because students enroll directly in a partner university abroad and have access to full curriculum study. Students studying at WSU from these partner schools will be at the fair to answer questions about exchanges.Education Abroad staff will be available during both the fair and adviser tour to answer questions.
