UWM Exchange Agreements
Exchange programs result from a formal agreement UWM has with an institution abroad. In an exchange program, a student from UWM trades places with a student at the partner university. The benefits of exchange include lower cost than most study abroad programs of similar length, full immersion into the host culture, and selection from a wide range of subjects and courses. Students earn graded UWM credit for courses taken abroad. Exchange programs are typically a semester or year in length, although short-term exchanges are also available. Because universities abroad usually do not offer student services on par with campuses in the United States, students on exchange are typically more independent and outgoing than students who go on study abroad programs.
