Overview

International Academic Programs (IAP), a unit of the International Division, leads campus efforts to provide credit-bearing academic experiences worldwide for UW-Madison students from diverse backgrounds in all majors and academic levels.

IAP, the central study abroad office on campus, collaborates with academic units across campus to offer safe, accessible, and high-quality study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship opportunities that foster students’ academic, personal, and professional growth. Additionally, IAP partners with study abroad offices in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the Wisconsin School of Business to administer programs tailored to their academic disciplines. All approved UW-Madison programs share policies, procedures, and best practices, and are featured on the study abroad Program Search and the International Internship Database.
