Global Learning Experiences

Choose one of many study abroad and international exchange opportunities offered at Weber State University. If you participate in Short-Term Study Abroad or an International Exchange, you are eligible to complete the program as a HIEE Global Learning Experience. You can even repeat an experience!

• What is the time commitment?

  From one week to one or more semesters.

• What information must I verify in GivePulse?

  In GivePulse, verify the study abroad program's location and the learning outcome of the experience.

• What should I include in my ePortfolio?

You can acquire a Global Learning Experience by registering for Global Learning (GLB) attribute courses! All students are eligible, and all types of GLB courses apply (first and second block or full semester). After you are enrolled in a course with a GLB attribute, you must sign up to get started through Wildcat Advantage. You can even receive credit for enrolling in more than one GLB course.

• How do I participate in this HIEE?

  After you sign up for a course with a GLB attribute and complete the course with a passing grade, verify participation with Bowen Cheng (bowencheng@weber.edu).

Starting fresh in a new country can be challenging for exchange students, but as a Global Ambassador, you can make a real difference. You'll connect with new students at Weber State, help them get settled, explore Utah, and offer a friendly, familiar face along the way. We’ll match you based on your major, language, and interests. You might even make a lifelong friend!
