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 two separate applications, one for WSU and one for the program abroad. The deadline for the program abroad application may be different than the WSU application deadline.

Use the MyStudyAbroad search tool to check the application deadline and requirements of the program for which you will be applying.
