Make Your Study Abroad Dreams a Reality
There are various
Education Abroad programs
to choose from, each offering unique experiences. Finding the right fit depends on
your preferences and goals. Explore UW’s offerings and narrow your options by program
type. If you want to go abroad for a semester or a year and take classes at a partner
university, consider an exchange or direct-enroll program. For studying with UW faculty
and students, check out UW faculty-led programs. Other factors like your desired level
of independence and preferred regions will also help guide your choice. Take your
time and enjoy the process of exploring as the first step in your journey abroad!

align your program with your academic goals
. By understanding how the program will contribute to your degree requirements, you
can maximize your time abroad while staying on track for graduation. With careful
planning, preparation, and
collaboration with your advisor

reducing academic stress and leaving more room to fully enjoy all the delights of
your time abroad—and hopefully an extra pastry or two.

the following requirements*:
A minimum of a 2.75 university/college GPA
30 or more UW credit hours (sophomore standing or higher)

imited exchange spaces and the University of Wyoming undergraduate degree requirements
(Section III, Subsection C of "
University of Wyoming Regulations
"), students are limited to a maximum of two exchange semesters abroad.

It's essential to be aware of the financial responsibilities of studying abroad and
plan accordingly. The good news is that with careful planning and preparation, making
this experience more affordable and accessible may be easier than you think!
Program costs vary by duration, experience and location. Visit the specific
program page
to get a more accurate estimate of costs for the programs you're interested in.

be applied to UW-approved study abroad programs.

Study Abroad Scholarship Booklet.
