Welcome to the Education Abroad Program at Westfield State College!
"In the 21st century, it is imperative that education prepare our students to be citizens of the world with the capacity to respect a diversity of views, and to learn and collaborate productively with individuals whose geographic, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds are different than their own. Studying abroad is a highly effective way to ensure these educational goals are met and to prepare for the professional challenges faced after graduation. I hope that every student at Westfield State College will consider its potential."

"Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was able to prove to myself that I could survive in this big world just by being me. I gained a different and better perspective of the world and our country, which has changed my view on many issues and of life in general. I met so many new people and tried many new things. One of the biggest regrets I hear from alumni is passing up the opportunity to study abroad. This experience is one I will never regret or forget and I am very happy that I took the opportunity to study and live in another country."
