We strive to instill all of our students with a global mindset. International students are an important part of our community, and we value the diversity that you help us to create. Read about the WashU Graduate Experience.

Resources for Global Studies

If you are planning on studying or traveling outside of the United States, we encourage you to learn more about the resources that are available to assist you and are dedicated to your safety.

We work with our international partners to develop academic programs that lead to “dual degrees.” These programs provide our university and students with opportunities for more globally-focused education. If you are interested in exploring such opportunities, please review our International Dual Degree Policy.
