Willamette's exchange partnership is centered around Strathclyde's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Discover more about academics available to exchange students in the Class Catalogue on the Strathclyde website. Because the exchange is rooted through the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, students can choose from classes in areas such as English and Creative Writing, History, Journalism, Politics, Psychology and Social Policy. Unlike at WU, students at Strathclyde take all of their courses from specific departments.
