Information and Advising

The CIE study abroad office staff work with students through drop-in advising, group advising sessions, and individual advising appointments to help them prepare for their international experience.  Our goal is to help you find the program that is right for you, prepare you for your international experience, and offer support and guidance each step of the way.

Walk-in Advising

If you are interested in studying abroad but don't know where to start, stop by the CIE study abroad office (Pearse 166) during normal business hours (Monday throgh Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm).  No appointment is necessary.  Office staff will be pleased to talk to you about different program options, how to begin planning for an education abroad eperience, and answer any questions you might have.  During your visit you can also schedule time to meet with a study abroad coordinator.

Scheduled Advising

Once you have identified a program of interest, schedule an appointment with a study abroad coordinator (414-229-5182, overseas@uwm.edu).  At this formal advising session you will be able to ask specific questions about the study abroad program you are interested in.  The coordinator you meet with will also give you guidance on selecting courses that will fit with your degree program, describe the application process, and discuss financial aid and scholarship opportunities with you.

Study Abroad Fair

The CIE study abroad office organizes spring and fall study abroad fairs in the UWM Union Concourse. Attend the fair to:

  • Meet and speak with staff from the CIE study abroad office.
  • Speak with faculty members directing UWM study abroad programs.
  • Learn about a wide-range of study abroad opportunities.
  • Chat with international exchange university students about their home universities.
  • Get financial advising from UWM financial aid officers.
  • Attend the Passport fair and process passport paperwork with the U.S. Postal Service.
  • Learn more about program itineraries and syllabi.

Study Abroad Library

During normal business hours you are welcome to make use of our extensive education abroad library. The library contains information about different cultures and countries, working, volunteering, and teaching abroad, and travel best practices.

Information Sessions

Study abroad information sessions take place on a regular basis during the school year.  At the information sessions, study abroad office staff will discuss program options, the application process, how to finance study abroad, and academic issues.  Advising sessions include plenty of time to ask any questions you might have.
