COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSEWORK

On select Gap Semesters, including China, India, Guatemala, Nepal, and South America, students can take a language course for-credit. All students study language as part of the program, but you can elect to receive college-credit for your participation in this learning process. Optional for-credit language courses are worth 4 semester credits and we offer three different levels in each target language.

• [China] Mandarin Language Study – Levels I, II, and III (CHIN 150/250/350; 4 credits)
• [Guatemala & South America] Spanish Language Study Level I, II & III (SPAN 150/250/350; 4 credits)
• [Nepal & India] Nepali Language Study – Levels I, II, & III (NPL 150/250/350; 4 credits)

In addition, students on the above mentioned Gap Semesters can petition to take a second course for-credit. This option is for students who feel that it is essential that they take 2 for-credit courses/8 credits in order to be able to participate in the Gap Semester. Other for-credit courses which may be available upon petition, include Regional Seminar, Independent Study Project (ISP): Methods and Application, or Intercultural Development and Global Citizenship. Additional course offerings on Gap Semester (beyond the language course) are contingent based on student interest and faculty availability.
