Cougs Abroad with SAI

Welcome to SAI, you’ll find a great home abroad with us! Join your fellow Cougs on our programs in Italy, Spain, and France. Want to learn more about SAI’s programs and how you can participate? Use the links below to join and discuss study and internship opportunities with universities and organizations based in Western Europe!

Did you know that there are three ways to help you begin your journey? Global Cougs 101 is a 45 minute information session that covers all of your options. Simply sign up and attend (in person or virtually). Once you have attended a session, you may then submit an advising request appointment. To help you even more, there are student Peer Advisors who have studied abroad. All you have to do to get started is stop by the Global Learning office (105 Bryan Hall – basement of the belltower) or visit https://ip.wsu.edu/study-abroad


We offer opportunities for you to study abroad and earn academic credits at host country institutions that will transfer back to WSU, all while providing you with the services and support to ensure that you thrive. You’ll return home changed, having had a culturally immersive, academically robust, and socially expansive experience.

You can use this page to help you navigate your study abroad journey: get answers to your questions, find your perfect program, and connect with Coug alumni.
