Several Westminster College Students Study Off-Campus

Eight Westminster College students will spend the spring semester studying in Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, and Pittsburgh.

"Off-campus study involves students in valuable educational and social experiences with those who have different cultural and educational backgrounds, said Dr. Frederick Horn, professor of English and director of off-campus studies at Westminster College.  "Our students become much more aware of themselves and their values when they live outside their comfort zone. To loosely paraphrase Bobby Burns, it's helpful to see ourselves as others see us."
 
As a part of their educational program, Westminster College students can spend as little as a month, or as much as a year, living and studying in an international or domestic program.  Students who study off-campus are able to earn not only credits towards graduation, but also credit towards their major or minor, or towards fulfilling part of the Liberal Studies requirements.
