Independent Research

Independent research is an alternative to studying abroad on a traditional foreign study program or at a foreign university.  Students participating in independent research have the opportunity to perform research abroad on a project of their own design, under the direction of a UW faculty member.  Independent research participants make a contract with a UW faculty member before departure and make all arrangements regarding housing, host country contacts, etc. independently.   

If you are participating in an Independent Research project, please download the Independent Research Packet in addition to the Concurrent Enrollment Form.
