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 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 opportunities.
  • Facilitating both domestic and international off-campus study.

Some facts about off-campus study at Wooster:

  • Each year, around 170 students choose to study off-campus.
  • Students can study in over 60 countries, including the United States.
  • With careful planning, any sophomore or junior from any major and who meets the requirements can study off-campus.

Where can you start?

  • Contact your academic advisor and the OCS office today!
  • Plan ahead! Applications for off-campus study are due by March 1 of the year preceding OCS.
  • Start talking with your professors and friends and exploring this website to find the program that best meets your academic goals.
