Many of the programs that the University of Wyoming offers give students an opportunity to study in another country for a semester or a year and pay tuition, and in some cases room and board, at the University of Wyoming. Study abroad programs are designed to provide access for students to study at an institution overseas that does not participate in bilateral exchanges. Since no students come to Wyoming in return, tuition and fees plus room and board fees are generally paid to the host university and not to the University of Wyoming. Program costs vary based on the cost of tuition at the university overseas. Stop by International Student Services, Knight Hall, R oom 241, to pick up an application and to obtain more details on the various programs.
Most applications require academic transcript, recommendations, and a personal essay.
An administrative fee is also required. Financial aid and scholarships may apply to the exchange and study abroad programs, but check with the source of the funding to ensure it will apply. University of Wyoming students who are in good academic standing in at least their sophomore year are eligible to participate in the University of Wyoming bilateral exchanges and study abroad programs. Transfer students and incoming freshmen are eligible only for study abroad programs. Please note that some programs have minimum University of Wyoming GPA requirements in excess of 2.5.
