Wellesley College is a program provider offering 2 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad abroad programs in 2 countries such as Iceland and France.
Students who wish to study abroad may choose from more than 180 programs.
About 45% of Wellesley College juniors elect to study abroad for a semester or a year. Motivation for study abroad is as diverse as our student population. Many students study abroad to perfect a foreign language, or to conduct field research, or to gain a new perspective on their major. Others seek the opportunity to study in a major research university, live in an urban setting, or to experience life in a developing country. Whatever your goals, the Office of International Study wants to work with you to identify the most appropriate host university or study abroad program for an experience that will challenge you and provide you with the opportunity to grow as a global citizen.
Study Abroad with Wellesley College
"Improved language skills and greater cultural understanding"
A student Wellesley College
"Both my ability and confidence in speaking and understanding spoken French improved dramatically. However, because many courses in France had little work during the semester (and then big papers or exams at the end) I got much less practice reading and especially writing than I did taking French classes in the US. I loved the ..."

"It was definitely a worthwhile experience and I completed my goal of becoming better at French. However the program made it very difficult to integrate. "

"Better French language skills and confidence"
A student Wellesley College
"I was kinda recovering from a previous abroad experience so I didn't immerse myself in French culture as much as I could've. But I made amazing French friends and bonded with students from other American schools, which alone made it worthwhile. Wish I could've improved my French more, though, as I feel it actually regressed."

Withney Barthelemy Wellesley College
"I learned how to live in France! Being in Aix taught me the ways of the French (both the good and bad). I got to do a lot of traveling, both in France and around Europe, and gained a second family that I will be staying in touch with. I feel way more confident speaking French. I had to fight for these things but it feels worthwh..."

"I got so much better at French, and even if I didn't make close local friends, I made friendships in the program that will last, and that's ultimately what is so important to me. "
A student Wellesley College
"I did improve my french! Now I can understand most spoken and written french. Also I've improved my writing greatly. I can hold conversations with french people without much difficulty. I still have a long way to go with grammar but I'm happy to have made the progress. I think it was helpful and eye-opening. I was definitely ..."

"Language and cultural skills"
A student Wellesley College
"It was incredibly worthwhile. I learned how to manage conflict and advocate for myself. I learned how to stay cool while I had to give a presentation in French to a bunch of other French people. It boosted my confidence. I made some amazing friends; everyone on the program was hardworking, interesting, and just lovely people to ..."

A student Wellesley College

A student Wellesley College
"The main thing I have learned is to not take life seriously. It was worthwhile. "

Sophia Eakins Wellesley College
"Big question. Woah. It was a good experience to expand my comfort zone, Aix was beautiful, and my French improved so much."
Julia Monaco Wellesley College
"I learned about another culture and my language skills improved. "
A student Wellesley College
"It was worth while. I gained fluency in a language that I had been studying and struggling to master for a long time."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a new language and the challenges of trying to express yourself when you are speaking a foreign language. I feel like my speaking capabilities not only in French but also in English have improved, and my classes even come more easily to me now since they're no longer in French. It was totally worth it."
