Introduction This report details UW-Madison study abroad participation for the Academic Year 2012-13 (Fall 12 through Summer 13), as reported in the Institute of International Education s Open Doors 2012-13 institutional data report regarding international educational exchange (http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/). Tables and charts include U.S. students (citizens and permanent residents) enrolled for a degree at UW-Madison who received academic credit for their study abroad experience. In this report, an Administrative Unit is the UW-Madison department, school, college, or other unit organizing the posting for coursework completed while abroad. Included in this report are the following administrative units: International Academic Programs (IAP), School of Business, College of Engineering, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, History Department, Law School, School of Pharmacy, PFMP, and the French & Italian Department. Students who did not study through an Administrative Unit either went on a program that was not sponsored by UW-Madison (and received academic credit through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions) or received academic credit through their departments for research, internships, or classes abroad. Summary The number of UW-Madison students earning credit for study abroad in 2012-13 was 2,157 students, a modest increase of.37% from the 2011-12 academic year (See Table 1). UW-Madison programs attracted a greater proportion of female (64.12%) to male (35.88%) participants compared with the Fall 2012 UW-Madison campus ratio of 51.2% female to 48.8% male. UW-Madison students received credit for study in 82 countries on six continents. Consistent with national trends, Europe continues to be the most popular study abroad destination for UW-Madison students, accounting for 53.14% of all UW-Madison study abroad participants. Spain was once again the most popular destination, with a total of 264 students (unchanged from previous year). China increased to second place with 202 students (an increase of 14.12%). The UK remained at third place with 194 students (an increase of 8.9%), followed by #4 Italy (192, up 2.67%), and #5 France (118, up 8.26%). The number of UW-Madison students participating on a non UW-Madison study abroad program decreased from 172 in 2011-2012 to 136 in 2012-2013 (a decrease of 20.93%).
