Study Abroad
Welcome to the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater's Study Abroad Page! We are proud to offer an ever-expanding list of foreign and U.S. study opportunities for university students. We encourage all students consider about studying abroad regardless of a student's major, minor, or financial status. In many instances, financial aid can be applied to U.S. or foreign study.
Studying away from UW-Whitewater is a mind-broadening, life-enriching experience. Please stop by the Center for Global Education to learn more about the exciting opportunities that await you.
