   Look for your desired semester abroad with “15-week semester” or “16-week semester” after

If your semester abroad is your last semester of college, you will not be able to graduate until one semester later.

For example, if you study abroad in the Fall, you will not be able to graduate until the Spring because it takes us a while to receive your transcript.

1. Can I take Major/Minor Classes Abroad?

It is highly recommended that you take Elective Credits abroad, since you will not know exactly which classes you will take until you are abroad.    

It may be possible to take Major/Minor credits abroad if those classes are offered abroad and if your department approves of those classes on a Course Approval Form.  It is up to your Major/Minor Department’s discretion.

2. Can I take General Education classes abroad?

You will have to ask Advising about this.

We have a podcast called “Study Abroad Stories.”    

See our Podcast Page and look under “Italy.”
