Study Abroad
With prior approval from the Academic Office, students may earn credit for study abroad. Students must meet with an academic supervisor and develop an individual contract for their learning, including assignments to be completed for credit. Students must enroll for the units specified and complete all requirements before receiving credit. These units may be applied to general education, the major, and/or internship, depending on the focus of study and with approval from the Academic Office.
WJU participates in the Study Abroad programs of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities; a higher education association of more than 150 intentionally Christ-centered institutions around the world. The Council’s mission is to advance the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help its institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship and service to biblical truth.
