See Credit Transfer for information about how to get credits from a study abroad program to count toward your Environmental Studies Certificate.
Are you considering a semester or year abroad? It's never too early to start gathering information! Students at UW-Madison can study abroad in many different countries throughout the world. UW students can go abroad in two different ways:
Many of the programs sponsored by UW-Madison include environmental options. For a listing of all study abroad programs sponsored by the university, see the Division of International Studies, Study Abroad page.
If you don't mind coordinating the whole process on your own (instead of pursuing one of the UW-Madison sponsored programs), there is a large database of independent study-abroad programs at www.studyabroad.com.
In particular, see the UW-Madison web page of guidelines for students
pursuing a non-UW program, which provides a useful comparison of UW-Madison sponsored programs and non-sponsored programs. It also includes lists of some of the programs eligible for transfer credit, course equivalencies, and essential forms.
