Before you apply
Eligibility Requirements
- You must be up-to-date on your vaccination against COVID-19, per CDC guidelines. Exceptions to this rule are rarely granted.
- You must have a minimum 2.0 GPA.
- You must not have active conduct sanctions.
- You must be a current WSU student in degree- or non-degree-seeking status.
Apply early
The application process can be time-consuming. Most programs have a limited number of slots available, and many admit students on a rolling basis. Applying early can improve your chances.
Application deadlines
Applications are due the semester before your program begins. Deadline dates may vary from program to program. For all programs except WSU faculty-led, you will need to complete 2 separate applications, 1 for WSU and 1 for the program abroad. The deadline for the program abroad application may be different from the WSU application deadline.
