Academic Considerations
Before you apply, make sure to review the following guidance specifically to College of AHS students.
Internship Requirements
Internships completed during study abroad experiences are not approved to satisfy curricular internship requirements for majors in the Department of Health and Kinesiology and the Department of Recreation, Sport and Tourism. If you have questions about internships abroad, please contact your academic advisor.
Senior Year Study Abroad
The College of AHS does not typically encourage studying abroad during your senior year, particularly in the Spring. However, it is possible, but there are several considerations to keep in mind as you make that decision. The considerations include transcript processing for graduation, consideration of interviews for graduate school as well as completion of remaining pre-requisite coursework. If you choose to study abroad spring semester senior year, your graduation will be delayed in order to receive the transcript from your study abroad program.
Advising
It is encouraged that you discuss study abroad with your academic advisor as soon as you begin considering it. They can discuss when will be the best time in your schedule for you to study abroad. After, you can attend a First Steps workshop to learn the basics of study abroad. Once you have a general idea of the study abroad process, contact IAGE to set up an individualized advising appointment.
Course Approval Process
AHS students should review the course approval process and complete and submit the course approval summary form prior to departure for their study abroad program.
