About this Program
Enhance your understanding of our world by selecting from a diverse course list that includes a range of fascinating topics, such as Middle Eastern studies, political science, gender studies, religious studies, and international relations. In addition, you can take Arabic language classes, with levels ranging from beginning through advanced. A highlight of this program is the ability to enroll in two Arabic courses. If you wish to progress through one full level of language (ie: Beginning Arabic I and II), you may do so and earn up to a years' worth of credit hours. Please note that you cannot progress through two different levels (ie: Beginning Arabic II and Intermediate I). Courses may be instructed by local professors, and classmates will be comprised of other WorldStrides students on your program. With the exception of the language classes, courses will be taught in English.

Housing at Seattle University
Moving can be both costly and stressful, but careful planning can help minimize both. Start by creating a housing plan for before and after your study abroad experience to avoid the pressure of continuing to pay for rent at home. Program fees typically cover housing abroad, so if you expect to incur additional domestic rent expenses, be sure to include these in your budget. If possible, consider staying with family or friends temporarily before you depart or when you return to save on costs.
Housing Residence Life
Education Abroad typically recommends considering Seattle University on-campus housing for when students return from their programs, as Housing Residence Life staff are able to support students in securing housing, while adhering to student preferenceas best as they can.
