Study Abroad    1-15 s.h

Catalog description

An individually-arranged program of foreign study. Programs can be of 3 general types: (1) study trips conducted by YSU faculty, (2) trips or residential programs sponsored by consortial universities, and (3) independent trips. For independent trips, YSU faculty will design appropriate educational objectives and evaluate students' performance in meeting these objectives. A written plan detailing these objectives must be approved by a faculty member of the Global Awareness Committee and the dean of Arts and Sciences prior to the commencement of the trip. For all three categories, credit toward fulfillment of the degree requirements will be determined by the dean(s) of the relevant college(s), in consultation with the appropriate department chairperson(s). Note: study abroad generally requires about one year's advance planning. Prereq.: Sophomore status.
