The level of accommodations will vary from campus to campus, but all housing will be located within walking distance or with access to public transportation routes, for travel to and from each campus.

As a recognized leader in study abroad education, Webster University understands the varying regulations related to travel within our international network of campuses.

With that in mind, all U.S. citizens must obtain a valid passport to participate in the program. U.S. citizens must apply through the U.S. State Department on their Web site at http://www.travel.state.gov. Students are solely responsible for procuring a valid passport.

Students will also be responsible for obtaining a visa, if required. You are encouraged to visit each country's Washington-based embassy Web site to become informed of the visa regulations of your destination countries prior to departure in the event of regulation changes or extended stays abroad.
