Language Learning: For Study Abroad and More
Learning a foreign language before studying abroad helps students to make the most of their time overseas. In fact, the more language study students can fit in before they go, the greater their gain in language proficiency while abroad. At UW–Madison, students learn languages to prepare for travel and study abroad, and for many other reasons (see chart). Language study at UW–Madison is something your student won’t want to miss out on: the university is a world leader in foreign language education, offering more than 80 languages during the academic year or in summer intensive institutes. Language offerings at UW–Madison span the globe, representing diverse linguistic and cultural traditions. For more information, visit the Language Institute Web site.
