Study Abroad

Studying abroad is an opportunity for students to see the world, grow as an individual, and develop the necessary skills to thrive in the ever-increasingly interconnected world. 

As a student at Westfield State, you have access to hundreds of programs across the world through our partner institutions and providers. You will receive credit for the courses you take abroad, and could even take courses to fulfill requirements for your major and/or minor. Additionally, by participating in one of our approved programs, most financial aid can still be applied.
