It\u2019s exciting and maybe a little scary (in a good way)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"default\">Planning for an experience abroad should begin about three semesters ahead of time. Students should work with their advisor to begin to plan their schedule and should work with a study abroad advisor in UWM\u2019s Center for International Education (CIE) to scout destinations, understand travel requirements and application deadlines, and explore financial aid options for study abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"uwm-c-link--external default\"><strong>Deadlines for study abroad programs are typically October 1 for spring and summer programs and March 1 for fall starting programs.<\/strong> Please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/\">CIE Study Abroad website<\/a> for detailed information and a database of available destinations to browse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion uwm-p-accordion--icon-left-circle\" data-accordion-prefix-classes=\"uwm\" data-accordion-cool-selectors=\"1\"><button class=\"uwm-p-accordion--toggle-button size-p-md\">Expand All<\/button>\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">History<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-history-study-abroad-additional-information\">History Study Abroad Additional Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-validation-of-transfer-credits-from-study-abroad\">Validation of Transfer Credits from Study Abroad <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have earned credits in history courses while studying abroad (or plan to do so) and have been informed that the History Department needs to determine the UWM course equivalents, please e-mail <a href=\"mailto:renlex@uwm.edu\">Professor Lex Renda<\/a>, Director of Undergraduate Studies.
