SUMMER & EARLY FALL PROGRAMS
New global internships program
Many UW students are interested in a global internship, research, or service learning opportunity. But these opportunities can be hard to find without the right connections, and can seem daunting to students as well as adviser. So we created GRISP (UW Global Research, Internship, & Service Program), a new campus-wide program offered by UW Study Abroad to all undergraduate and graduate students. GRISP opportunities are available throughout the year and we provide a vetted network of opportunities and a common pathway for all UW students.
GRISP participants receive online training and support for at least three quarters: one during pre-departure, one during the internship or service experience, and one upon return to UW. Academic credit is available but not required.
Info session for advisers on Wednesday 1/15, 12-1 pm, in HUB 340
Our newest exchange program is now ready for applications! UW students can now study at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia.
If you or any of your students simply Google-Image-search ‘Slovenia’ or ‘Ljubljana’ the case for studying and traveling there will make itself. Slovenia is a hidden gem in Europe, an EU and Eurozone member. Venice is three hours and Trieste is one hour away. Ljubljana is a safe and picturesque location and a cosmopolitan University, and UW has many connections there.
Our 10 Most Affordable Programs for Summer and Early Fall 2020
Improving access to study abroad is our key mission, what gets us out of bed in the morning (when it’s not in fact kids or pets or something else!), even when it’s dark & gloomy outside. And money is one of the biggest hurdles to studying abroad - so we always highlight our most affordable faculty-led programs. One of our programs, to Tonga in the South Pacific, has a fee of $0 (not a typo). The other nine have fees of between $3,800 and $4,800 for a summer program.
Check out our top ten most affordable faculty-led programs in Summer and Early Fall 2020 and share them with your students!
