Study Abroad

[ainsivalavie]

<p>Can you study abroad in a country other than the one available to what you are majoring in? </p>

<p>Also, can study abroad fit in the schedule for pre-med students?</p>

[aaliyah4]

<p>yes you can, im on a spanish study abroad which isnt my major. </p>

<p>and i know a bunch of people who are premed who have studied abroad or will study abroad.</p>

[ainsivalavie]

<p>Do you have to actually take classes the study abroad is designed for? For example, if you want to go to Italy or Greece but are not studying Classics.</p>

[sybbie719]

<p>You do not have to be a classics major to do the rome or greece study abroad in classics. However you must have the pre-recs completed before going on your trip.</p>

<p>So does that mean that if I’m a biology (pre-med) or psych major who isn’t planning on taking those classes, I can’t do a study abroad?</p>

[sybbie719]

<p>No, it does not mean this at all. Most FSP/LSAs have pre-requisite courses that you must fulfill in order to go on that study abroad. You do not have to major in classics in order to do the classics study abroad. You can minor, some people use the classics classes to fill distrib. requirements.</p>

<p>Stay with me…</p>

<p>In order to graduate from Dartmouth, you will need to fulfill some general education requirements</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>D. General Education Requirements: There are two separate requirements under this heading: World Culture Requirement, and Distributive Requirement. These requirements are outlined below, and are explained in detail (including the codes used to designate which courses fall into which categories).</p>

<ol>
<li><p>World Culture Requirement. Each student must take and pass one course in each of three areas: Western Cultures, Non-Western Cultures, and Culture and Identity.</p></li>
<li><p>Distributive Requirement. Each student must take and pass ten courses, as follows:</p></li>
</ol>

<p>one in the Arts;</p>

<p>one in Literature;</p>

<p>one in Systems and Traditions of Thought, Meaning, and Value;</p>

<p>one in International or Comparative Study;</p>

<p>two in Social Analysis;</p>

<p>one in Quantitative and Deductive Sciences;</p>

<p>two in the Natural Sciences;</p>

<p>one in Technology or Applied Science.</p>

<p>One of the courses in the Natural Science or Technology categories must have a laboratory, field, or experimental component.</p>

<p>A course may satisfy categories in two of these requirements. For example, a course might satisfy the Western category in the World Culture requirement and the Literature category in the Distributive requirement. Consequently, by careful choice of courses, it is possible to satisfy all of these requirements with just ten courses. Note also that the fact that a course falls within the student’s major department or program does not invalidate its use toward meeting these requirements.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>for example you want to go on the Rome FSP and you take the following courses to fulfill your pre recs: </p>

<p>Classical Studies 17. Roman History: The Republic - this course fulfills the following distribution requirement; : SOC; WCult: </p>

<p>Classical Studies 18 . History of the Roman Empire: Roman Principate to Christian Empire - this course fulfills INT or SOC; WCult:</p>

<p>taking these 2 classes to fulfill the the rome study abroad requirement will also help fulfill 3 distribs (SOC, WCult & Int)</p>

<p>there is also a biological sciences FSP in costa rica (a great winter get away)</p>

<p>hope this helps</p>

<p>Is it possible to study abroad at a university to which Dartmouth does not offer any official study-abroad trips? For example, if I want to study at Oxford for half a year or so, can I do that and get credit for the courses?</p>

[sybbie719]

<p>Dartmouth has an exchange with Oxford.</p>

<p>

**Keble College/Oxford University (Exchange Program) **</p>

<p>Each fall, winter, and spring a maximum of four students can attend Keble College of Oxford University. The experience offers Dartmouth students the opportunity to live in Oxford dorms and during the program to have complete access to libraries, sports, facilities, and lectures. The program will primarily serve government and economics majors. All government and economics tutorials will be approved in advance by the departments and some will count towards the major. </p>

<p>Applications must be submitted by February 1. The same application procedure as for the Twelve College Exchange is in effect. Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.5.</p>

<p>Upon completion of the exchange, the exchange coordinator at the host institution will forward the transcript to the Office of the Registrar, Dartmouth College. Future transcripts of exchange program grades must be obtained by the student from the exchange institution.</p>
