FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS

The University System of Georgia and North Georgia College & State University provide students with a variety of opportunities to study abroad while earning academic credit toward completion of degree requirements at their home campus.

Studying abroad enables students to increase knowledge of a foreign language, provides the opportunity to gain insights into and appreciation for the cultures and institutions of other peoples, facilitates the development of relevant career skills, and contributes to personal maturity, a sense of independence, self-knowledge, and confidence.

The Department offers a French language study program in Quebec City in conjunction with the Université Laval and a Spanish language program in Santander, Spain, through the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo. In addition, the Department of Language & Literature, in conjunction with area high schools, currently sponsors a summer French Study Abroad Program in Toulouse, France, for high school students jointly enrolled at North Georgia College & State University and their respective high schools.

Study Abroad Programs are open to all undergraduate students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5; however, some may require a higher GPA and completion of prerequisites. Graduate students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Students in the University System of Georgia may use their financial aid toward study abroad programs. A limited number of scholarships are available. For further information, contact the Department of Language & Literature, or visit our web site.

Students taking part in a study abroad program which is not a University of Georgia System program must obtain prior approval from the Department of Language & Literature. It is the student's responsibility to present adequate documentation on the academic value of such programs.

For the foreign language major, a maximum of six study abroad courses may be counted toward the degree, including a maximum of 3 upper level courses in the major for summer study abroad. In an exceptional case, a fourth upper level course may be allowed with departmental permission.

For the foreign language minor, up to four study abroad courses may be taken, with a maximum of two counted as upper level credit for the minor.

Students may begin their study of a foreign language in an approved study abroad program and receive credit for a maximum of two courses (i.e., 1001 and 1002) during the first term of study abroad.

A student may choose to participate in an established semester (15 semester hours) or junior year abroad (30 semester hours) program under the auspices of an approved institution after obtaining the permission of the department. In all cases the student must do the last semester of work on the NGCSU campus.
