Global Experience
Have you always dreamed of traveling across the country—or across the world? Does the idea of reading in a Parisian café or swimming in the Indian Ocean sound appealing? If so, watch the video above to learn more about the exciting ways to fulfill your experiential learning requirement while studying abroad! Options for fulfilling the experiential learning requirement within the Global Experience track include the following:
-
Approved courses: Enroll in a Global Seminar course or take another class from the approved course list below to automatically satisfy the experiential learning requirement!
-
Other study abroad options: Participate in any approved study abroad program of at least four weeks and submit a course proposal upon your return to fulfill your experiential learning requirement.
Be sure to review the eligibility criteria before finalizing your plans for studying abroad if you would like your coursework to satisfy the requirement.
An updated approved course list is effective as of Fall 2024. The previous approved course list was only effective through Summer 2024. To minimize any impacts to long-term planning, students who entered the university prior to Fall 2024 can write into the Virtual Advising Center to request an exception to this change. Once you've enrolled in a previously approved course, you can send a message asking to have it applied to your experiential learning requirement and your degree audit will be manually updated.
