Six Westminster College students will study at off-campus locations ranging from Pittsburgh to France, Scotland, and Costa Rica for the fall 2008 semester.

Certain majors require study abroad, such as international politics, international business, intercultural studies, and various modern languages. These majors make up the majority of students who study abroad.
The study-abroad program has been a strong part of Westminster for decades. Westminster is part of a student exchange program with over 100 schools, allowing Westminster students to travel all over the world and receive the same rates and financial aid just as if they were still at Westminster.
