American Studies

Departmental Reviewer: Tim Marr, marr@unc.edu

Notes:

American Studies encourage all majors and minors to gain global perspectives through study abroad. Courses taken abroad may contribute to AMST major requirements. When filling out a new course request, please list the specific requirement for which you are trying to earn credit in your major or minor program.

American Studies majors and minors are encouraged to apply for the Julia Preston Brumley Scholarship that honors the memory of a UNC graduate who was raised in Chapel Hill and was passionate about traveling abroad. This Scholarship provides up to a $3,000 award to help off-set the cost of studying abroad for a summer, semester, or an academic year. Please visit our departmental page for more on study abroad opportunities and procedures (see link below)

Notes:

Transfer of Business Credits from Main Campus Study Abroad Programs:
Students who studied abroad prior to their enrollment to the business school are eligible to transfer back a maximum of 3.00 credits towards their business major/ minor. Business minors are eligible to transfer back a maximum of two courses (equal to 6 business credits) from their study abroad and business majors are eligible to transfer back a maximum 3 courses (equal to 9 business credits) from their study abroad. PLEASE NOTE: For minors, the 6 total credit hours includes all study abroad hours, meaning that if a student studied abroad prior to their enrollment to the business school and took 3 credit hours towards their business minor, they are only able to take a maximum of 3 credit hours towards their business degree as a business minor studying abroad, as university policy states that at least nine credit hours in the minor must be completed at UNC–Chapel Hill and not at other academic institutions. All requests will be reviewed; however, approval of business credit is not guaranteed. The maximum amount of business credit any one singular course can receive is 3 credit hours. If a course is worth more than 3 UNC credit hours, the extra hours would transfer back as general elective hours.

Computer Science

Departmental Reviewer: Dave Stotts, stotts@cs.unc.edu

Notes:

Constraints on course approval: we typically do not give study abroad credit for COMP Core courses. These are core courses for the department and should be taken before you study abroad. The department will only approve up to 2 Computer Science courses.

Comparative Literature

Departmental Reviewer: Martin Johnson, mlj@email.unc.edu

Notes:

Study Abroad courses in English and Comparative Literature typically count as 200-level electives, although exceptions may be made for especially rigorous courses. To earn elective credit toward the major or any department minor, students must write a minimum of 4000 words of graded, non-exam writing in a Study Abroad course. Pre-approval inquiries can be emailed to Dr. Jennifer Larson (jlarson@email.unc.edu). Effective Fall 2017, students may not earn credit for Creative Writing courses taken in Study Abroad programs.
