Summer Study in Morocco , administered jointly by UWM and Madison, is held primarily in Rabat, Morocco on the campus of Mohammed V University. A homestay with a Moroccan family and a one week educational field trip into the interior of the country are also part of the program. Internship Opportunities are made available to qualified students who receive degree credit while gaining practical work experience and making valuable contacts in the community. Participants must be a junior or senior, an IS Major, and have a GPA of 3.0 or above. Distinguished International Scholars regularly visit UWM under the auspices of the IS Major.
Some visitors give lectures and hold meetings with students.
Others stay for longer periods and teach courses. Visitors include career diplomats and international civil servants, as well as scholars. In the recent past, visitors have come from Algeria, Cameroon, China, England, Kenya, Israel, Japan, Morocco, Poland, Russia and the United Arab Emirites, as well as the United States and several other countries. Information is available through the UWM Financial Aid Office. Every year, the IS Major awards the Roberta and J. Martin Klotsche Scholarship to an outstanding student majoring in International Studies.
