Study Abroad

Undergraduate Program


Although not a requirement, study abroad has become a regular part of the Woodrow Wilson School Program. Overseas study for WWS students is limited to those locations at which task forces may be offered. During the 2009-10 academic year, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, in conjunction with the Study Abroad Program, expects to offer six opportunities to study abroad. Students will take a full course load of preapproved courses (equivalent to four Princeton courses) and complete Junior Independent Work while abroad.

Students should be familiar with the University Travel policies and register all travel plans and contact information in the University Travel Database.

Information about the Study Abroad Program as well as the names and e-mail addresses of students who have studied abroad on these and other programs can be found on the University Study Abroad Program website. Please note that the study abroad fee that Princeton has charged in the past was eliminated at the start of the 2007-08 academic year.

Applications should be submitted to 36 University Place, Suite 350. For fall programs, the transcript and recommendation that were submitted with the Woodrow Wilson School application will become part of the application to the specific program. The Princeton study abroad approval form, which is on the Study Abroad Program website, must be submitted by May 1.

Students applying for spring semester programs must submit a recent transcript and recommendation(s) as required. The Princeton study abroad approval form must be submitted by November 1.
