How to Find Academic Information
Course information is available on the DIS website, including short descriptions, syllabi, and information about the faculty.
When choosing courses, work closely with your college and/or major or minor adviser(s) to select courses that fulfill specific requirements. You can also consult the Liberal Education database to find courses that fulfill Liberal Education core and theme requirements, or submit courses online for approval. Use the Academic Planning for Study Abroad form (pdf) as a tool for selecting courses with your adviser. Visit the Advising webpage for more information and resources on choosing courses.
Navigating the DIS website
- Navigate to the program's main page from the DIS website.
- Under the "Academics" drop down menu, select the appropriate term and choose one of the options.
With good academic planning this program can fit well into the degree plans for many majors. Search for courses that fulfill Liberal Education Requirements or submit a course you want to take for review. Study Abroad in Your Major advising sheets explain why study abroad is important for a major, indicate what the department wants students to consider when selecting a program, and provide academic planning hints. This program may appear as a special recommendation on an advising sheet. If your major is not listed, talk to an adviser—this program may still fit your academic, career, and professional goals.
