Areas of study open to exchange students

Students are permitted to enrol in any courses or programs at UW-Madison for which they are qualified, with the exception of those courses in which places may not be available due to enrolment limitations or that are hosted in schools with separate admissions processes (i.e. Business). Exchange students are rarely -if ever- able to enrol in courses in UW professional schools. In recent years it has become more difficult for students to find open seats in courses in Economics and Journalism.

Courses at Master’s level

Yes (but see the comment under 'Areas of study open to exchange students')

Language of instruction

All courses are taught in English, except foreign language courses.

Housing assistance

Students can live in on-campus or off-campus housing. Information will be sent to students about both options.
