If you are an alumni of our study abroad trips, we congratulate you and ask you to please send us your own testimonials; how has your study abroad program changed your life?  Click here to leave us your thoughts.

Navigating through our site is made simple with the navigation located on the left side of the screen. Simply click on the section you wish to go to. If you're interested in what programs we offer we recommend starting with our Destinations page. Here you will find information on all of our current programs.

What are your thoughts about studying abroad?  We want to know how best to serve students, and to that end we have developed the following survey:  http://survey.uwsp.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=9l0J9n3.  

It only takes a few minutes.  A few of the questions may seem a bit "leading," but please know that your responses to them will help us tremendously!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

International Programs also maintains a reference section to assist students in finding credible alternatives for students whose schedules and/or interests require them to seek study or tours run by other institutions. A good place to start is by visiting the unofficial UW-System Study Abroad website.

We are open year-round, Monday through Friday, 8:00-4:30 p.m. We do not close for winter, spring or summer breaks.

If so, we have great news for you! UWSP has lowered the out-of-state surcharges to $250-500 for short-term programs and $1000 for semesters abroad -- that makes our trips some of the best bargains in study abroad anywhere!



Looking for scholarships to help pay for your trip?
