About Undergraduate Learning Abroad
The Office of Undergraduate Learning Abroad (ULA) is the first stop for undergraduates seeking a global learning experience.
ULA unites the former Study Abroad Office and Office of International Program Development (IPD) in a single team dedicated to meeting Northwestern students’ diverse overseas learning needs. Through ULA and the Global Engagement Studies Institute (GESI), Northwestern offers credit-bearing study abroad, exchange, and academic internship opportunities that prepare students for success in today’s interconnected world.
Advising
