Finding Courses Abroad
Depending on the classes available on your program, you can take a combination of major, minor, foreign language, internship, Gen Ed, and elective credit while you’re abroad. Learn more about how to find the right classes for you, including tools like Global Tracks.
Earning Academic Credit
The exact credit you earn abroad will depend on which program you choose and the classes you take. Some programs offer University of Arizona Direct Credit, which will factor into your GPA. Other programs offer Transfer Credit, which will not factor into your GPA. Credit type and course lists can be found on each study abroad program page in the Program Search.
Planning with your Academic Advisor
To determine how the credit you earn will apply to your degree, talk with your academic advisor. Communicating with your academic advisor is key to staying on track for your degree. As you start thinking about your study abroad program options, reach out to your academic advisor to discuss your degree progress and academic goals. Learn more about what questions your academic advisor can help answer.
