Study Abroad Programs
Majoring in International Studies and studying
abroad within another educational system, perhaps speaking another language,
is a natural combination. You will learn more about yourself and the world
and engage in what will most definitely be a life-changing experience.
If you have the resources, the initiative, and the desire, DO IT! Even
if you think that you can't financially afford to go, you are urged to
get more information. Studying abroad is a surprisingly affordable adventure,
and one well worth taking advantage of.
UW-Madison Programs

with and without language requirements.

- Benefits of going on a UW-Madison program:
-
You are considered to be in residence while abroad. You won't have to worry about violating the 30 credit rule, so that if you want to, you can spend your senior year abroad.
-
Your grades will also transfer and be included in your Madison GPA.
-
You do not have to reapply to UW-Madison for the following semester, and OISP will help with registration for classes for the semester of your return.

also be interested in and eligible for programs sponsored by:
