Academics

ELIGIBILITY
To apply, you must be a currently enrolled, degree-seeking, undergraduate UW-Eau Claire student. You need to be in good academic standing and have a cumulative resident GPA of 2.8. You may apply as a freshman but must have at least sophomore standing by the time the program begins.

COURSES
You will take three modules during the eight-week program. You can take a maximum of two modules in one block. As a result, you will take two modules in one block and one module in the other block.

A key feature of the ISS is the out-of-class study. The content will vary depending on the module but options include visits to the Scottish Parliament, Loch Lomond and the Tossachs National Park, Eilean Donan Castle and readings at the Macroboerts Arts Center. These fields trips are also open to those not signed up for the course and are included in the program fee. A number of additional experiences to the major Scottish attractions will also be offered.
