While there are certainly those among us who have no problem spinning a globe and allowing fate to decide where in the world we might go next, the majority of us consider a broad range of factors that will influence our decision about not just which country to choose, but which program to choose as well.

To pick a destination, you’ll need to engage in a little self–reflection. Start thinking about what you’re hoping to get out of your time abroad. A student looking for a challenging cultural experience or full immersion in a new language might choose a very different location than a student looking for great professors or a rigorous academic schedule.

We’re happy that you are considering applying for a study abroad experience. If you have any questions as you go through this process, please contact us at oie@uwosh.edu or by calling (920) 424-0775.

Take the following things into account can help to narrow the options in order to find the program that is right for you.

• Define your Goals
• Type of program
• Academics
• Location
• Language of instruction
• Grade and credit transfer
