Central to Roger Williams University’s mission is the belief that a complete college education today involves global engagement. Our message to students is simple: Go Global! Experience other cultures. Develop a global perspective. Carry the knowledge gained from study abroad into your life-long learning and careers, whatever path you may choose.

The Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs is here to help students navigate the broad scope of Roger Williams Universit’y study abroad opportunities. Currently there are dozens of programs that students can take advantage of. These programs offer a wide variety of experiences that range from a campus setting at one of our overseas partner universities to field based programs giving students a hands- on- experience. Students also have the opportunity to engage with the local cultures by participating in global service-learning opportunities, internships and other immersive experiences. We have students gaining valuable global experiences in Italy, Ireland, France, Australia, South Africa, China, Spain, Argentina, and Germany to name just a few locations.

There are also sumer and winter short term study abroad options available to help provide students with more options.
