Faculty-Led, Full-Semester Programs
At least two groups of Whitworth students each year travel abroad for a
semester and study a set of related subjects with Whitworth faculty and
native scholars. These "mini-colleges" abroad generally include 20-30 students
and three or more professors over the course of the semester. The itinerary and
content for the programs are customized depending on the faculty members who
participate, so no two trips are alike. Students apply for the programs a year
in advance and complete a semester-long preparatory course before going abroad.
Please contact Sue Jackson (sjackson@whitworth.edu) for more information on semester abroad programs.
