I am going to do a semester abroad. Will the courses I take count for graduation and meeting sociology requirements?

Students can take courses in their major(s) or minor(s) overseas. Programs are also offered that allow students to earn credit for core classes. Before departure, students must have their credits approved by the BSU department(s) that would award credit. Fill out a Request for Study Abroad Credit Sheet and obtain signatures from the department(s) in which you want to earn credit. Field Studies, London Centre, and Australia Centre are pre-approved for credit transfer. You may also wish to set up an independent study (Soc 490) with a faculty member in the sociology department to earn additional credit while abroad. See question on independent studies for additional information. It may also be possible to arrange a section of a particular course (such as SOC 320) and examine topics typically covered in this course overseas (such as comparing and contrasting social inequality here and abroad). Please contact the Undergraduate Director at 765-285-5977 to explore this option. For more information about studying abroad, please visit the Center for International Programs. The office is located in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, Room 102. You can reach the office by phone at (765) 285-5422 or visit the website at http://www.bsu.edu/studyabroad/.
