Political Science

Study Abroad

Globalization is more than just the latest buzzword. It is recognition of the fact that borders in our world are diminishing in importance and our interdependence is growing. Whether you will be seeking employment after graduate or will be looking to enrol in graduate or law school, an international experience can be an important addition to your portfolio. The most effective way for Political Science students to incorporate include a meaningful nternational experience in their undergraduate career is to study abroad while at WMU. WMU's Office of Study Abroad offers many programs that include courses in Political Science. You can also select programs through other universities and, with advance approval, apply some or all of your course work to major credit, minor credit or general education credit. Programs vary in their duration, from as little as ten days to as long as an academic year. Grants and scholarhips are available for certain types of programs (for more, see OSA's page on financing a study abroad experience).
