The world is your classroom. Expand your global horizons and gain once-in-a-lifetime experiences when you study abroad. UMW offers Faculty-Led Programs, led by UMW professors during breaks from the regular academic calendar or during summer sessions. Students may also participate in UMW’s Approved Programs, which provide the opportunity to study abroad for a summer, semester, or year at an international institution. For the same tuition cost as a semester or year at UMW, students can also study abroad through one of our Exchange Programs.
