Study Abroad
Every semester, our students study abroad in all parts of the world, and many also enroll in international and domestic courses during January term. With assistance from the Office for International Education, students research study abroad sites, select courses at universities and colleges, and then apply to spend a semester or a year studying and living abroad.
These are only some of the countries where our majors have studied:
- Australia
- El Salvador
- England
- France
- Germany
- India
- Ireland
- Morocco
- Norway
- Scotland
- Spain
Major or Minor Course Credits
The English Department can accomodate many requests by students to have courses taken while studying abroad transfer into major or minor course credits. Students should speak with the chair prior to applying for a study abroad program in order to receive clear information on coursework.
