Off-Campus Study is a vital dimension of a Wooster liberal arts education, providing students with a forum for developing a diverse and global perspective. Off-campus study is not a "time-out" for students, but rather a chance to spend a semester, summer or full year learning about themselves and the communities in which they live, and exploring and deepening knowledge in an academic area of interest.
The office of Off-Campus Studies facilitates this by:
- Promoting global events on campus.
- Advising students on off-campus study and study abroad opportunities.
- Facilitating both domestic and international off-campus study and study abroad.
- Helping students prepare for their experience, and "keep their experience alive" back on campus.
