In the ranking based on 2021-22 study abroad statistics, 254 UW-Eau Claire students studied abroad, ranking the university 15th in the country among public and private master\u2019s-level schools.<\/p>\n

UW-Eau Claire is the top-ranked master\u2019s-level university in Wisconsin and Minnesota in the survey.<\/p>\n

UW-Eau Claire is ranked 17th in the master\u2019s-level category for mid-length duration programs (a quarter or semester) studying abroad, with 99 students. The university is 20th in the country in the short-term category, with 156 students participating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acknowledgement is especially meaningful given the numbers are based on 2021-22, which still was impacted by COVID-19 travel restrictions,\u201d Marchwick says. \u201cMany of the students who studied abroad this year represent the power of resilience; they didn\u2019t relinquish their study abroad goal even when faced with challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marchwick hopes to see UW-Eau Claire\u2019s statistics continue to grow \u201cgiven the many academic and professional benefits of study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

UW-Eau Claire has study abroad programs in more than 30 countries, with Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy and Costa Rica the most popular in 2021-22.<\/p>\n

Elise Tipcke, a double major in nursing and Spanish who will graduate Dec. 16, studied abroad for five months in Valladolid, Spain, in spring 2022 and later participated in a two-week faculty-led immersion to Guatemala.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudying abroad changed me,\u201d Tipcke says. \u201cI know everybody says that you come back a changed person, but it is so true. I think your worldview is so open and you learn so many things about yourself and about other cultures while you are there.\u201d<\/p>\n
