Washington College has partnered with three universities abroad that permit Washington College students to participate in their summer semesters; these semesters work similarly to a fall/spring semester abroad: students apply through the Global Education Office (either by the fall or the spring deadline, with priority given to fall applicants) and participate in the same mandatory pre-departure workshops required for semester-long study abroad. The three partners are: Lingnan University in Hong Kong, Yonsei University in South Korea, and Universidad San Francisco Quito (USFQ) in Ecuador. (Brief descriptions of each of these schools is provided in the next section below). The coursework completed overseas will transfer back as Washington College credit/value/grades. Because these three programs work outside the regular semester parameters, students who participate will be charged the Summer Exchange Abroad fee of $1,500 in lieu of other Washington College tuition and fees. In addition, summer housing fees will be paid to Washington College and provided at the partner institution in the cases of Lingnan and Yonsei universities.
