Is Study Abroad a part of the Global Cultures Program?
Yes, as an option. You may complete the program through course work on campus, but you also have the option of earning credits on a study abroad program for up to 12 of the 21 required credits (up to 12 credits for an academic year program; up to 6 for a semester program; up to 3 for a summer program). Depending upon the courses you take overseas, credits may apply to the program’s language requirement, elective courses. Special permission is needed to complete capstone requirement abroad. The Division of International Studies sponsors programs in more than 80 sites around the world (see the Study Abroad website). A number of programs are in English. The School of Business, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the Institute for Environmental Studies, and the College of Engineering also sponsor overseas programs. Participation in these UW-Madison programs may also count toward the Global Cultures Program requirements.
