Studying Away at PLU

Challenge your perspective!

Study Abroad vs Study Away: PLU values the diversity within the US and therefore offers academic programs both locally and globally. Students earn PLU credit and have access to Financial Aid and Scholarships while studying away for a Semester,Year or Short-Term program. The Wang Center supports students during exploration, pre-departure, while they are away and when they return.

Students interested in the PLUS Year opportunity can study away during their PLUS Year but only during J-Term. See the PLUS Year FAQs for more details. Although unable to study away during their PLUS Year, students may have more flexibility with their degree planning to study away for a semester before taking a PLUS Year.
