Listen to WPU students talk about their transformative experiences abroad in Italy

Italy
In May of 2016, more than 30 students, faculty, and staff visited Italy for a study abroad trip.
Students took a one credit course during the spring semester that prepared them for the international experience, where they took in the sights and sounds of Naples, Rome, and various parts of the countryside. Students then received two hours of academic credit upon completion of all assignments related to the travel.
Students interacted directly with Italian business professionals and studied global cultural practices, as well as basic international business practices and trends.

“The Italy trip was SO fun. We were able to go to so many cool places and see so many things. I never would have been able to experience that had I not gone to WPU.”
