Study Abroad:  The Real Truth


Sarah Sims

"I have to admit getting on the plane that day was one of the best decisions I ever made...I now know that there is almost no limit to what situations I can handle and do on my own.  This experience definitely changed my life for the better." 
Sarah Sims, Accounting/Finance Major, Magellan Exchange:  Zuyd University, Netherlands

Many students believe that it is too expensive.  They are afraid that their credits won't actually help them in meeting degree requirements or that they must know a foreign language.  The truth is that there are many opportunities to earn Washburn credit while studying abroad.  Our partner institutions offer classes in business and other disciplines taught in English, so no prior knowledge of foreign language is needed.  You get an opportunity to see the world without impeding your progress toward a degree.  In order to make that possible, however, careful planning is needed.  It is never too early to start exploring the possibilities, contact your study abroad advisor as soon as you can!
