Each January, Wellesley College faculty run short-term study abroad courses open to Wellesley and MIT students.
Wintersession courses have been suspended for 2021 and 2022 due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Please contact the sponsoring department or relevant faculty director for further information about course content, pre-requisites, application process and deadlines, dates and costs.
Wellesley students may participate in no more than one college-sponsored wintersession course abroad. Programs are highly subsidized, and financial aid is available to aid-eligible students. Airfare costs are covered by the college. If demonstrated financial need exceeds the cost of airfare, additional aid is first awarded in the form of a subsidized loan of up to $1000. Grants will be awarded for any remaining need.
Cancellation: Students who withdraw from the program after confirming their participation are liable for a cancellation fee of $200 or the sum of non-recoverable costs, whichever is greater. Financial aid does not apply.
