General Information
Emory University has offered high-quality summer study abroad experiences
around the world for over thirty-eight years. These popular programs provide
opportunities for you to study aspects of another country's culture and society
in disciplines spanning the social sciences, the sciences, and the
humanities. Emory’s summer study abroad programs are planned and directed
by Emory faculty, and the courses are also taught by Emory faculty. The courses
are designed to take full advantage of the overseas setting in which they take
place.
As a participant on one of these summer study abroad programs, you are registered
at Emory for the summer. Grades and credits earned overseas are granted on
the same basis as those obtained on the Emory campus; credits are awarded in
semester hours. You should check with the study abroad office and/or academic
advisor at your home institution to determine how the credits and grades will
transfer back to your campus. At the conclusion of the program, an official
Emory transcript will be sent to the address you indicate on your application
form.
