FAQ

What summer or term abroad courses can count toward the major?

We recommend choosing courses during your Term Abroad in light of your interests as a Global Affairs elective or in fulfillment of Yale College Distributional Requirements. Economics courses taken abroad may count toward the major only if Yale’s Economics Department reviews them as comparable to Yale’s offerings, which is rare. Courses are approved only with the express written permission of the DUS, and may only be formally petitioned to count toward the major requirements after the credit transfers to Yale. We strictly do not allow course substitutes for: any of the courses with attributes or course numbers associated with the “2 Political Science” courses requirement; Applied Quantitative Analysis II (GLBL 2122); The “Challenges in Global Affairs” integrated core course (GLBL 3101); or any of the courses with attributes or course numbers associated with the “one additional advanced course” requirement.
