Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City

Study with CET in Vietnam on their Development Studies program for the semester or summer. On these programs you will see international development in action through courses that focus on development studies and public health, and you can take up an internship opportunity with a local organization or non-profit.

The program also includes traveling seminars that take you to other places in Vietnam or nearby countries, like Cambodia, to connect your studies to lived realities.

CET provides housing and all students are placed with a local roommate who is studying at a local university. They're your automatic connection to finding your community in Ho Chi Minh City.

You will be working closely with both IAP and CET on this program. You can access the program's main information page through the CET website to learn more about the academics, housing, excursions and activities, and location.

Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to providing quality study abroad and domestic study away programs for every UW-Madison student.

Our staff actively engages with students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and prioritizes the continuous development of our knowledge and cultural competence. We also recognize the importance of increasing access to study abroad for historically underrepresented student populations. We are committed to diversity and inclusion so that every student can engage with and understand their identity through a new lens and continue to develop and make progress on their personal, professional, and academic goals.

Sustainability

We recognize that the future of study abroad, domestic study away, and international internship programming requires a Commitment to Sustainability. We are devoted to examining, developing, and improving sustainability in all our endeavors, aligning with campus priorities and following through with UW-Madison's climate action and Resilience Commitment.
