 According to Washington and Lee University's mission statement, "graduates will be prepared for life-long learning, personal achievement, responsible leadership, service to others, and engaged citizenship in a global and diverse society." To that end, study abroad opportunities are one of the many fantastic experiences students can choose to undertake during their four years in Lexington. Approximately 70% of students participate in an abroad program during their time at W&L. This experience may take place through an academic year or full term abroad, a faculty-led Spring Term abroad course, summer programs, international internships, international research opportunities or service learning. |
