UWEC Spanish Equivalents 2021-2022
AACSB Accredited Programs
Beginning spring 2021, the UWEC College of Business, will only grant lower division elective credit if business students take business courses at a non-AACSB accredited university. If a course is posted to the UWEC transfer wizard as a direct equivalency, that is no longer valid. No exceptions will be granted. The College of Business is currently re-reviewing all business courses.
To find a list of programs that are AACSB accredited, click here. Business students, who take business courses, at AACSB accredited universities have a higher likelihood of bringing back meaningful credit. Business students are strongly encouraged to discuss their options with their ARCC advisor.

Curriculum IntegrationThe study abroad staff has been working with a variety of departments to have courses evaluated for curriculum integration. To find the completed resources, please see our site called "Your Major + Study Abroad." As more are completed, they will be added to that page.
Integrated Learning (I1):
Students participating on a CIE program (non-faculty led) can fulfill one Integrated Learning (I1) requirement by completing short assignments PRIOR TO GOING and while abroad. This is NOT automatically granted when a student studies abroad. During a student's pre-departure planning, the CIE will give them information on how to opt-in to I1. Students who opt-in will be added to a Canvas course and be given further instructions on how to complete their assignments. All assignments need to be completed in order to receive I1 credit. If a student misses the opportunity to opt-in, they cannot be retroactively added. Questions about Integrated Learning and how the process works can be sent to Jack Kessler (kesslejk@uwec.edu).
Additional courses that students take abroad may hold other LE attributes. The transfer credit wizard will list those or you will need to use the UWEC catalog for direct equivalencies.
