MISSION STATEMENT

The Office of International Studies works with students, faculty, administrators, and program providers to ensure that students participate in substantive educational programs in other countries, and that said programs form a meaningful part of a coherent whole within the major and the overall Wesleyan undergraduate degree. Intellectually rigorous study abroad is integral to the University's efforts to internationalize the curriculum and prepare students for global citizenship. In the Wesleyan context, internationalization also includes encouragement of language and area studies, the development of opportunities for study and research abroad for all students and faculty, and the involvement of faculty in incorporating international perspectives into the curriculum.
