Travel Courses and Study Abroad

The University of Wisconsin – Green Bay encourages students to take advantage of educational opportunities all over the world.

Travel Courses

Travel Courses are led by UW-Green Bay faculty and count as UW-Green Bay resident credit. They are offered in many subject areas (ex, PSYCH, BUS ADM) and have a course number of either 299 for lower-level, or 499 for upper-level. Typically, these courses last 2-4 weeks and are offered during January Interim or Summer. Students register for these courses in SIS during normal registration times.  499 courses can be used to satisfy the Global Culture general education requirement. Contact your Professional Advisor for more details.

Study Abroad

Study Abroad provides a once-in-a lifetime experience that will help you explore the world, learn and grow personally, become more culturally savvy & build essential skills that any employer is looking for.

Study Abroad courses are recorded as transfer credit, however, they may be used to meet major, minor, and/or general education requirements. Prior to departing, students work with their Professional Advisor and Faculty mentor to determine how courses taken abroad will apply to their UW-Green Bay degree. Contact the Office of International Education for more details.

Study Abroad through another Institution

UW-Green Bay partners with other UW schools to help increase Study Abroad destinations for students. If another UW offers a destination that UW-Green Bay does not, it may be possible to participate in the experience through the other UW school. Courses taken this way can then be transferred to UW-Green Bay and may be used to meet major, minor, and/or general education requirements. Prior to departing, students work with their Professional Advisor and Faculty mentor to determine how courses taken abroad will apply to their UW-Green Bay degree. Upon return, students must submit their foreign transcript to a professional evaluation service currently recognized by NACES for review. UW-Green Bay recommends ECE or WES.
