Myths vs. Reality of Study Abroad

There are many myths surrounding study abroad. Many students believe that it is too expensive. Others are afraid that their credits won't actually help them in meeting degree requirements or that they must know a foreign language. None of that is necessarily true. The real truth is that there are many meaningful and affordable 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 to start planning your semester abroad.

Fact: School of Business scholarships are available not only from School of Business but also from the Office of International Programs to help make study abroad work for you.

Fact: Washburn partners with 12 institutions around the world and nearly all credits will satisfy either business or general education requirements.

Fact: Classes at Washburn’s partner schools are taught in English.
