American University Washington College of Law’s study abroad programs offer an exciting and diverse variety of cultural experiences, legal settings, and academic focus areas. In fact, about half of our students earn academic credit from a legal experience outside of the United States. Students earn credits in one of our nearly 20 programs abroad across four continents.

London Law Society"I'm not sure I can fully express how much I got out of studying abroad for just two weeks. The timing was perfect (short enough to still have a job when I got back) and it was the type of experience I talked about in my cover letters and interviews. It was not just great experience on my resume, but personally, it offered me an opportunity to visit countries I had never had the chance to visit otherwise. It was incredible."

hague final "I participated in WCL's Summer Program in The Hague, and I was able to return to The Hague and intern at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Now, I have more contacts, and a greater chance of securing a position in the international legal field."

france quote"I am so pleased that I decided to complete the international dual-degree program. [The year abroad] taught me so many academic and general life skills that will be useful as I navigate the transition to a full-time career. It also solidified my interest in living internationally in the years to come."
