Fifteen Westminster College students are studying in the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh during the spring semester.
"Study abroad is the best opportunity our students have for learning about the larger world that's out there," said Dr. Jeffrey Bersett, director of off-campus study and assistant professor of Spanish. "Going overseas shows them more than just new places. They return to Westminster with new ways of looking at things, and with a new understanding of how everything fits together."
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.
