WSC Exchange Programs

WSC has entered into exchange agreements with four different Universities around
the world: University of Puerto Rico, Cayey;  University of Worcester, England; University of
San Francisco, Quito, Ecuador; and
University of Beira Interior (UBI), Covilha, Portugal.   
Exchange agreements vary from institution to institution, but in general a student on an
exchange program pays Worcester State College tuition and fees and then flies to their
destination for the semester.  To learn more about exchange opportunities, please
contact study.abroad@worcester.edu or visit the International Programs Office (G-107).
