Study Abroad

Economics Study Abroad Programs

The Department of Economics currently participates in foreign exchange programs with the following universities:

DEADLINE EXTENDED to 12pm on TUESDAY, February 19, 2008.

• Thammasat University, Thailand
• Tilburg University, the Netherlands
• Munich University, Germany
• Université de la Méditerranée Aix-Marseille, France
• University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy

Students apply in early Winter quarter to participate in the exchanges during the following academic year.  To apply, students must be Economics majors, have completed ECON 300 and ECON 301, and be in good standing with the University.  Students can apply to participate in a year long exchange, or one semester.  Students pay UW tuition for their studies, and receive University of Washington credit for the coursework completed. As these are departmental exchanges, most of the econ courses available will count for departmental requirements.  For more information, click on the links above, or see an adviser in Condon 413.

International Programs & Exchanges

Don't limit yourself to the departmental exchanges!  Economics majors study all over the world through the International Programs & Exchanges Office.  Economics courses taken through these exchanges must be evaluated by the department for possible economics credit.  Click here to visit the IPE webpages or visit their office in Schmitz 516.

Departmental Exchanges

There are many departments that offer study abroad programs open to all majors.  English, CHID and language departments are some examples.  Students interested in studying abroad should explore departmental websites, visit advising offices and check their email.  When the Department receives information on departmental study abroad programs, we send the information to students through the econmaj listserve (for instructions on subscribing to econmaj, click here).
