Intro

A hallmark of a 澳门葡京网赌送彩金 education is that Blugolds push their own boundaries in seeking knowledge and understanding. 

Luckily, finding ways to break out of that comfort zone and discover something new are not hard to come by on this campus. And one of the many ways you can explore the world around you with fresh eyes is through our robust and year-round selection of immersion programs.

In fact, this university believes so strongly in the value of these intercultural experiences, every full-time tuition-paying undergraduate UW-Eau Claire student is automatically eligible to receive funding to participate in one international, domestic, or research-based immersion experience.

So Much More Than Just a Trip

Cultural Immersions are meaningful intercultural experiences beyond the classroom. These carefully curated and faculty-supervised programs connect students and faculty to specific cultures, histories, societies and traditions in meaningful and lasting ways. 

What's even better? Each year there are many different locations, durations and times of the academic year and types of programs to choose from.

The way you learn during immersion experiences has a lot of advantages. Immersive learning allowed me work in the mud, move rocks, and clean fishponds, listening to the locals talk. It makes everything I learned about the land and people feel more real and touching.
