The Wisconsin International Scholars (WISc) program fosters a community of intellectually curious students who are invested in exploring significant global issues, ideas, and experiences throughout their undergraduate career, creating a foundation for global engagement and cultural understanding that will enable them to be catalysts for positive change in the world.

We do this through:

  • Cultivating a small group experience for students with peers who share interests in global issues, languages, and cultures.
  • Monthly events and meals that provide opportunities to discuss global issues from a multidisciplinary perspective.
  • A cluster of courses including a one-credit, discussion-based seminar with the first-year cohort.
  • Mentorship by faculty and staff to support students as they build a global component into their education
  • Study abroad grants that may be used toward participation in any approved, credit-bearing, study abroad program listed on the UW–Madison Study Abroad website.
