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.

A student Wellesley College
"I realized while being abroad that I was not really exposed to conversational French in my past 8 years of studying the language, and I improved in that area. My experience was extremely worthwhile and I can't wait to return to France to work/study. "

A student Wellesley College
"I gained not only language skills, but confidence in myself and independence. I really pushed the boundaries of what I was comfortable with, and now I feel empowered to pursue all sorts of opportunities I may not have considered before. It was completely worthwhile. "
Madeleine S Wellesley College
"I truly believe that applying to be a part of this program was the best decision that I have made thus far in my life. Everyone told me that I would change, grow, and learn so much during my 9 months abroad. I agreed but I had no idea in which ways that would happen. Now, I know myself (and the world) so much better than I ever ..."
Helen G Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about French literature and authors that I enjoy reading. This experience was worthwhile but I did not get as much appreciation for the French culture out of it as I had expected."
A student Wellesley College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I feel more independent and mature for having navigated a foreign country for 5 months. "
fiona.boyd Wellesley College
"I was challenged in ways I wasn't otherwise at Wellesley: by language barriers, cultural barriers, travel logistics, safety concerns, social challenges, time zones, and scheduling. All of these challenges forced me to grow and mature much faster than I otherwise would during a semester at Wellesley."
A student Wellesley College
"great"
crysti.wang Wellesley College
"I gained more confidence in my language skills, was able to make friends in classes and a connection with my host family, and was able to travel around Europe. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"My comprehension improved greatly, as did my confidence in speaking. I also was able to read a lot, which helped to improve overall comprehension-although it took a lot longer to complete my reading. VERY worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"My French improved immensely, I learned and incredible amount about French culture and "la France", I became more independent, and I got to live in Europe for 6 months. It was totally worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"Improved my French skills, met lots of cool people, learned a ton, traveled a ton, had a great time"
anne.corbett.16 Wellesley College
"I made so many new friends I would've never made around Europe if I stayed home. I loved exploring the foods and cultures of all these European places I"ve only read about on the Internet. It was truly the best experience of my life!"
A student Wellesley College
"Yes! Living with a host family was the best experience. I learned other ways of living and my French really really got better."
A student Wellesley College
"My french improved greatly (fluency and understanding), I was exposed to a different learning style in the French university system, and I made many valuable and important connections. It was 100% worthwhile!"
A student Wellesley College
"I found myself surprised and sometimes shocked at French people's attitudes on things, which made me appreciate my own culture so much more. I do think it was worthwhile because it gives you a different perspective on how foreigners are treated outside their country. Being somewhere where people do not speak your first language ..."
