Approved Study Abroad Programs

The following is a list of programs that have been approved for Wellesley College students. Some are sponsored by Wellesley College, others are arranged by another U.S. college or university or independent organization, and still others involve directly enrolling in an overseas college or university.

Students are encouraged to select programs from this list when appropriate (good fit geographically and academically). All have been approved for Wellesley College credit. In some cases, students will need to look beyond the list of recommended programs, in which case they should contact the Office of International Studies.

Note: Wellesley College's policy is that ordinarily students may not receive academic credit or college funds for programs taking place in a country for which there is a current U.S. government warning advising Americans to defer travel or to evacuate. Students seeking an exception to this policy must submit a request (in advance of their travel) to the college's Safety Committee. If a U.S. government warning is issued for a country in which a Wellesley-run program is operating or in which Wellesley students are studying or holding college-supported internships, the safety committee will consider whether it would be appropriate to curtail the program and/or withdraw college support. If immediate action is required or the safety committee cannot be convened in time, the final decision about cancellation will rest with the Dean of the College and the Dean of Students.
