Exploring campuses abroad

Northwestern may have gone Middle Eastern, but officials at the University of Wisconsin are not as eager to open â??brick and mortarâ? campuses overseas.

This semester, Northwestern University â?? based in Evanston, Ill. â?? opened a branch of its Medill School of Journalism and its School of Communications in Qatar. The university became one of more than a half-dozen U.S. colleges to open branches in the region.
