History

Study Abroad

In the age of globalization, multicultural knowledge and life experiences not only broaden our horizons, but also enhance our ability to succeed in highly competitive and increasingly international job markets. Winthrop University's motto is, "Live. Learn. Lead." We strongly encourage students to study abroad to make friends, embrace world citizenship, enrich knowledge, and distinguish themselves in their professions and communities. We recommend that students consider Study Abroad during the sophomore or junior year.
