Study Abroad
|
Thinking of studying abroad? Information, including a listing of approved programs, FAQs, and links to useful Web sites, is available at the IEFP Web site. You may make an appointment or see an IEFP adviser during walk-in hours at 55 Whitney Avenue, third floor. The peer adviser program can put you in touch with students who have recently returned from a study abroad experience. Useful Information and Links for Study Abroad Opportunities
Each year students participate in the Yale Year or Term Abroad program. Some Yale Summer Session courses are offered abroad. On these programs students earn Yale course credit while studying in countries all over the world. Year or Term Abroad students earn four course credits toward the bachelor's degree for a term abroad and nine for a year. Students either enroll directly in a foreign university or select a program sponsored by a U.S. college. They may also choose to participate in a Yale program abroad, such as Yale-in-London or the Peking University–Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing. Keep in mind that course credits earned from study abroad may be used to satisfy distributional requirements (with permission of the student's residential college dean), major requirements (with permission of the DUS), and the 36-course-credit requirement for the bachelor's degree. Grades for courses taken abroad, however, are not included in the calculation of your Yale GPA. Study abroad information meetings and events are held throughout the year at the IEFP office, 55 Whitney Avenue. In early fall there is an International Opportunities Fair as well. See the IEFP Web site for staff, peer adviser, and meeting schedules. Whether you choose to study abroad for a term, a year, a summer, or while on a leave of absence, you are encouraged to discuss your plans with the IEFP staff. |
