Both Study Abroad and Internships are valuable experiential learning opportunities that allow students to gain new skills, forms of knowledge, and training outside of the classroom. We encourage all students to take advantage of these opportunities while at UWM!
Study Abroad
UWM’s Center for International Education (CIE) offers high-quality, safe and affordable international academic opportunities. Through our programs, students develop the knowledge, skills and perspectives to become mindful and engaged global citizens.
We’re here to help you choose a program that matches your goals and that seamlessly connects your study abroad experience with your on-campus academic pursuits.

Internships
Internships are valuable opportunities for students to develop new skills, gain new experiences, and learn about possible careers in a professional setting while still in school. The availability of internships in world languages or with an international focus is growing, particularly in the translation and interpretation areas, in the field of social services and medicine, and other areas abroad;
UWM has a number of resources available to students to help them find an internship suitable for their academic interests. As part of their professional development, we encourage students to initiate the process of finding an internship, utilizing both UWM and personal resources, including:
- Networking through friends and family and their connections
- Networking through student organizations or professional organizations
- Using job boards and other online sites where internships are posted
- Connecting with the UWM’s Office of Student Experience and Talent (SET) for resume assistance, interviewing tips, internship and job postings and more
- Exploring about some of the organizations that we have developed relationships with.
- Learn about other students’ past experiences with internships
