Applying for Study Abroad
Department International Study Advisor
(To make an appointment please contact the undergraduate secretary)
RLL majors and minors wishing to study abroad will meet with the International Study Advisor to help determine their eligibility: their progress in the major or minor as well as their GPA will be checked and a recommendation will be made. Students will then be directed to a specific Program Advisor with whom they will select their courses. Courses will be approved based on the recommendation from the Program Advisor.
Office of International Programs
To obtain information on a program, and to apply, please contact the Office of International Programs located at Hovey House (552-3827).
Study Abroad Policies
Prerequisites
Ideally, students expecting to transfer credits into an RLL major will have completed the equivalent of a third-year university-level language class or more. Minimally, students should have completed at least the second semester of the intermediate course. Please note: Italian majors and minors who have only completed Elementary Italian II are eligible for the Fall or full-year program in Parma only. Hispanic Studies majors and minors must consult the Hispanic Studies Guidelines for Study Abroad.
All RLL majors are required to enroll in an advanced course each semester of their senior year, regardless of whether they have completed the ten-course requirement for the major.
All RLL minors must enroll in one advanced course during their senior year, regardless of whether they have completed the six-course requirement for the minor.
Students who are nominated to the RLL HONORS PROGRAM are encouraged to decide upon a thesis topic before going abroad.
Number of courses allowed for major or minor credit
RLL majors earn credit for up to three courses (9 credits) toward their major in a single semester of study abroad, and credit for up to five courses (15 credits) in a year-long program.
RLL minors earn credit for up to two courses (6 credits) toward their minor in a single semester of study abroad, and credit for up to three courses (9 credits) in a year-long program.
Restrictions
Departmental pre-approval of courses is required prior to departure. For all other courses, the International Study Advisor and the Director of Undergraduate Studies will evaluate the courses taken abroad and make a decision.
No RLL credit will be granted for courses conducted in English. Credit is not automatically granted for courses taken in the target language. Courses must show a direct relationship to the student's program of study in the department.
Programs not listed in the BC Programs Abroad section will be evaluated on case-by-case basis.
