Southwestern University
Study Abroad
Southwestern’s Office of Study Abroad and International Student Services takes a holistic approach to off-campus study by preparing and supporting students to live and learn in a new culture setting. Exposure to different ideas and perspectives is an integral part of the Southwestern Experience.
Adventure. Experiences. Ideas. Perspectives.
Welcome to the Office of Study Abroad and International Student Services at Southwestern University. Our office plays a dual role in advising current Southwestern students on study abroad opportunities and advising international students studying at Southwestern University.
Adventure Awaits
Whether you know where you want to study or are open to new ideas, we invite you to learn more about our programs and talk with our staff, who can help you determine which adventure is right for you. We have an on-site Resource Room full of helpful information, and can likely get you in touch with current students or alumni who studied in or near the same location.
