UIW Study Abroad - You know you want to do it!

The Study Abroad Office is here to help you make your dreams of studying in a foreign country become reality.

How do you get started?

Click on the SISTER SCHOOLS link (left) and see if there's a school in your area of interest. UIW has more than 90 Sister School Agreements in more than 30 countries -- that means you have lots of options. Check schools' online catalogs for courses you would like to take.

Next, click on STUDY ABROAD INQUIRY in the column at left and submit the form with your information. Include the semester and year you plan to go abroad, if you know it. This just lets our office know you are interested so we put you on a list to get more information.

What's next?

Then call or email the Study Abroad Office and set a time to come pick up a packet of forms and information you need to complete the Request to Study Abroad process. That's when you can ask all the questions you want. Be sure to bring your unofficial transcript and your degree plan with you!

Remember: Sister School Agreements are designed to ensure the transfer of your credits earned abroad back to your degree program at UIW. You can attend non-sister schools or other programs, but you always need to get your advisor's approval for your course selection to be sure of smooth credit transfer.
