The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater provides study abroad choices to meet the diverse academic and personal needs of the student. Programs vary in location, length, level, academic focus, language requirements, and cost. Each program consists of academic study with an appropriate cross-cultural learning experience in a foreign country.
Financial aid is also available for certain programs.
Study abroad is a most effective and intensive learning experience. A semester or year spent overseas opens a window to the world which broadens international and intercultural awareness and sheds new light on preconceptions. International study brings fresh perspective to career choice, international understanding and human relationships. If U.S. students are to function effectively in the increasingly global economy, they need to acquire new perspectives, knowledge and skills to succeed.
