W&M Sponsored Semester Programs

An immersive experience.

W&M has built special relationships with four different international institutions where we offer Sponsored Semester Programs. These programs are intentional in providing an immersive experience for students. For one fixed price and, in several cases, receiving W&M credit (see program pages for details), W&M students can study for a semester at one of the following locations:

Several programs provide direct credit options for some coursework (Seville and LaPlata) Build community with other W&M students, while taking courses at a foreign university, and provide an opportunity to learn about different academic systems. Experience a new and different living/learning environment where students have the opportunity to have an immersive experience by living with a host family, or at Oxford, living in single room accommodations on campus.

Students on these programs can also apply for a Reves Center Semester Scholarship.
