The WIP Program in Madrid has been in operation for 50 years and is a consortium between Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin.

IU manages the three-university consortium which now serves students from IU, Purdue, UW and Tulane University. The WIP program offers both semester and academic-year experiences, foregrounding academic excellence and cultural integration in Spanish.
