Even though it's winter break, it's not too early to think about applying for overseas study. Through overseas studies programs, students can either take courses through their own university, another college or university within the U.S. or through a university abroad. Either way, most classes are accepted as regular credit and count towards your degree. Take a Shakespeare class and see a play at The Globe in London or practice your French at a cafe in Paris. Learn Spanish history by touring the streets of Madrid or take a semester at sea and travel around the world in 100 days.
Programs vary, giving students the choice of living with host families or on campus.
Classes offered include nearly every discipline and usually, weekends abroad are reserved for traveling or field trips. Loans and scholarships are available for financial support. Study Abroad is offered every semester, including summers, and it is available through numerous universities around Milwaukee. Some of the programs offered include opportunities to study in Canada, Germany, Chile, Japan, Ireland or Poland. Alverno College offers both long and short term study abroad opportunities and participates in a formal student exchange program with six foreign universities, allowing students to have access to personal advising while they are there.
