Signature Short-Term Study Abroad Programs
Typically 2-3 week programs led by UW-Madison faculty/staff and developed specifically for global health students. Students apply through the UW-Madison Study Abroad website, and are encouraged to contact study abroad advisors with questions about the programs or application process. Study abroad advisors for each program are listed in the ‘contact’ tab on each program page. Global Health advisors can also help students explore different options. We encourage planning 6-9 months in advance to ensure that you find the right program and do not miss any application deadlines. Students cannot apply to more than one program per term.
