Latin American Study Abroad Opportunities

UW students study abroad for many reasons. Beyond the sheer adventure of experiencing a different world from the one they’ve come to know here at home, these students find many rewards to studying abroad, both personal and professional. The UW has numerous, established study abroad programs at accredited universities throughout Latin America. Most study abroad is organized through the Office of International Programs and Exchanges. For information on established study abroad programs, use the links below to explore by country. You may always contact IPE or the LAS office for more information.
