Short-term Study Abroad Programs
Student Testimonial
Emma Irving, English
“Over spring break, I had the brilliant opportunity to travel to the English Lake District…to study Wordsworth in his beloved Grasmere. I cannot stop gushing about my trip; it was life-changing in so many respects.” Read more about Emma’s study abroad experience.
Student Testimonial
Lauren Elliott, Nursing
“It opens up your mind and you make relationships that will last a lifetime. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my trip to Honduras.”
We know that not everyone can study abroad for a full semester, but we still want our students to get out of their comfort zones!
There are many short-term study abroad opportunities available here at Widener. Some students are able to go abroad as part of a class, and others spend several weeks of the summer with one of our global partners.
The opportunities are endless, and it will be an experience you’ll never forget!
