WCL offers an exciting and diverse selection of study abroad opportunities. WCL knows that studying abroad not only exposes students to the legal and judicial systems of other countries, but also allows them to take part in a cultural and professional exchange. Continued success in today's society is increasingly dependent on the ability of people to think and work globally. We believe that the unique challenges that students encounter while studying abroad will enhance their legal education, preparing them to meet the needs of our global society. Students may also be able to arrange internships in conjunction with any of these study abroad programs, adding a practical dimension to their experience.

*Applications for Fall 2008 semester exchange programs are due by March 1, 2008.*
