PAU Expands Its Collaboration to the USA
Pamukkale University (PAU) has taken another significant step towards its internationalization goals by signing a comprehensive Erasmus+ KA171 agreement with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in the United States. Under this agreement, student and staff exchanges will be facilitated across 22 different academic fields.

Pamukkale University continues to pursue its goal of playing a leading role on international platforms through its initiatives in global education and exchange programs. Previously, the university successfully established dual-degree and Erasmus+ KA171 agreements in Economics and Political Science and Public Administration with the State University of New York and secured funding from the Directorate for EU Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye. Now, with its new partnership with the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Pamukkale University is opening new doors of opportunity for its students and academic staff.
Under this agreement, Pamukkale University students will have the chance to study in the U.S. through the Erasmus+ exchange program. During their studies abroad, they will be exempt from tuition fees and will also receive financial support from Pamukkale University’s Erasmus+ KA171 budget. These opportunities will make international education more accessible, providing significant benefits for students' academic and personal development.
Additionally, faculty members from the University of Wisconsin will have the opportunity to teach at Pamukkale University, while Pamukkale University faculty will also be able to engage in teaching mobility at the University of Wisconsin. This reciprocal academic mobility will further strengthen knowledge exchange and cultural interaction between the two institutions.
As part of Pamukkale University’s internationalization vision, this agreement aims not only to facilitate student exchanges but also to establish a sustainable academic collaboration between faculty members. Furthermore, the partnership with the University of Wisconsin will enhance Pamukkale University’s global recognition while offering high-quality educational and teaching opportunities for both students and staff.
