Study Abroad Advisors can help you work with the program to learn more about the types of opportunities available, as some may be limited, competitive, or have pre-requisites like language requirements.
Receiving Credit in Sexuality and Queer Studies
Students wishing to receive credit in SQS for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. Students hoping to earn credit abroad toward their SQS major should confirm with the SQS department prior to departing abroad how courses may or may not be able to count. The link above is a list of already pre-reviewed courses and how they can count toward the SQS major/minor. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.
Study Abroad Liaison
To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison.
