拓展你的视野
Studying abroad is an experience more than 20% of all Blugolds take advantage of — whether traveling to Guatemala to study social and environmental justice or going across the seas to study health science in Stirling, 苏格兰.
在威斯康星大学欧克莱尔分校, you have many options when it comes to where you study and for how long, from a weeks-long faculty-led immersion or research trip to a full semester at one of our partnering international universities. 成功的关键在于计划, so mentioning to your academic advisor that you hope to study abroad will craft your degree plan accordingly.
Study abroad staff in the Center for International Education are here to help you narrow down your program and make sure it’s the right fit. With the right planning, you can go abroad as soon as the summer after your first year. No matter where you choose to study abroad, you will receive support to make your international education dreams come true.
这么多选择
国外一整个学期
选择 more than 50 programs in more than 30 countries, with many programs requiring no previous foreign language experience. Where you ultimately select to go may hinge on one or more of the following considerations.
- Interests/goals: Personal, academic and career goals can help you find the right program.
- Finances: There is a wide range of costs, from similar to on-campus to much higher.
- 地点:除了选择一个国家, the exact type of campus is important — there are small-town and major metropolitan options.
- Housing: Do you want to live among local students or with a host family? The types of living situations available may narrow down locations for you.
浸没式/研究经验
Immersion programs may take you across the country or to the other side of the world. Some last only a week or two, while others may immerse you for well over a month. 无论你选择哪个选项, you will gain a new perspective and be forever changed by the people you meet and the things you see and do.
例如:
- Guatemala: Social and Environmental Justice
- Central European Travel Seminar in Public History
- 中国:全球化
My advice to anyone thinking about studying abroad would be to 100% do it. It’s always worth it to expand your horizons and step out of your comfort zone. I’ve seen and experienced so many new things.
