Benefits of Studying Abroad


There are numerous advantages to participating in a College of Charleston study abroad program as opposed to non-College of Charleston programs:
  • Credit Towards your GPA

     

     

    1) Students earn grades that count toward their College of Charleston grade point averages, whereas only the credit hours may transfer with non-College of Charleston programs;

  • Courses Match Campus Curriculum

     

    2) Courses taken are in sync with the campus curriculum thereby ensuring more accurate preparation for subsequent upper-level coursework back on the Charleston campus;

  • Designed for You

     

     3) College of Charleston-sponsored programs are designed by the College for College of Charleston students as opposed to non-College of Charleston programs that attempt to address the needs of students from a wide variety of colleges and universities.

For downloadable applications and further information, please visit the Center for International Education.

To participate in a study abroad program that is NOT sponsored by the College of Charleston, all approvals of Portuguese and Spanish course transfer credits must made be PRIOR to participating in the program in question.

To evaluate course equivalencies, please visit the Course Approval Process Page on the Center for International Education Hub page.
