Ways to See the World
Whether you're craving a quick taste of adventure or ready to dive deep into a new culture, exciting travel and learning opportunities await.
Semester Program
You can choose between two different types: direct enroll and exchange. Exchange programs are less expensive but tend to have limited courses available, while direct enroll programs are more costly but generally there are many more programs available.
Short-Term Program
If you want a shorter, more independent study abroad experience, the short-term programs are for you! These experiences are intensive study programs during summer or winter break.
Faculty-Led Travel Course
These shorter programs are taught by faculty in a certain subject. They take place during winter, summer and spring breaks. Study abroad with a cohort of other UW-Green Bay students on programs that change every year.
Student Teaching
Learn unique teaching techniques while you fulfill your student teaching requirements. Opportunities are available in New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand, Jamaica, Germany, England and more.
Why Study
Abroad?
It's not just a vacation.
From academic to personal to professional, you'll be surprised at how much you transform over the course of your study. Because you're living and learning in a new place, you're out of your comfort zone. You'll become more confident as a person and learn how to take on the world. Professional skills, whether language or communication or technical, are practiced day in and day out. Plus, because only about 10 percent of people study abroad, you'll stand out from other job applicants just through your experience.

Forge Your
Own Path
"Keep trying to make friends and put yourself out there even if it seems hard. You’re in an entirely new setting and it’s okay to feel frustrated. Talk to your family back home and let them know what’s going on with you. Enjoy your time over there and don’t be afraid to forge your own path because sometimes you’ll discover the most beautiful things."
