Study Abroad

Think Globally About Today's Toughest Challenges

Wentworth Institute of Technology offers a variety of study abroad and international experiences and opportunities that helps expose our students to the needs and challenges of an increasingly global economy. As the world gets smaller, more and more companies are expanding their international presence and entering markets that require creative new ways of thinking.

Wentworth students can pursue faculty-led study abroad programs and travel electives, and the Center for Wellness offers Experiential Wellness programs in other countries.
