Program Type Click each program type for more details	Description
Exchanges	Exchanges are study abroad programs that allow you to enroll at a university in another country. A student from that university will come here to take your place. There are two types of exchanges – university-wide and departmental exchanges.
Faculty-led Programs	UW Faculty-led Programs offer students the opportunity for you to study abroad with programs organized and taught by UW faculty.
Rome in Residence	Rome in Residence is a program that utilizes UW’s Rome Center as an extension of the main campus with courses taught by local experts. Go to the Rome in Residence website.
Partner Programs	Partner Programs are approved study abroad options offered by study abroad program providers.
Direct Enrollment	Direct Enrollment Programs are approved study abroad options in which you directly enroll at another university or foreign language school. Unlike an exchange, no student from that university will come to UW to take your place.
Internships	Internships are an opportunity for you to gain professional work experience abroad. They are offered through approved providers.
Fieldwork, Research & Independent Learning Abroad (FRILA)	Fieldwork, Research & Independent Learning Abroad (FRILA) allow you to engage globally while maintaining student status and receiving international travel security coverage.
