Why Study Abroad?
Learning beyond classrooms and textbooks
You will learn about a new country, culture and most importantly about yourself.
Students who study abroad not only have the experience of a lifetime, but also gain valuable skills that can be used in academics and in the workplace. Many UW-Green Bay students report becoming more flexible and adaptable, confident, and culturally competent after participating in a program, all skills that are often developed outside of comfort zones!

But Don't Take
Our Word for It
"Studying abroad in Darmstadt and Marburg, Germany was the best experience of my life and was worth every penny I saved and spent for it. Spending time with and getting to know many of the locals was the best part of my experience because I formed some of the most unique and closest friendships and learned things about the culture one couldn't learn in a textbook."
