Message from the
Vice Provost
International Programs is putting the “world” in “world class, face to face.” We are a catalyst for internationalization of the campus and expanding the global reach of Washington State University.
In this increasingly “flat” world, it is critical that our students develop global competencies to compete effectively in the 21st century. To make a WSU education world class, International Programs is making the world our classroom.
