FAQ

Can classes from my study abroad program count towards the major?

Yes, but only with approval from the DUS upon your return from study abroad and after the credit transfers to Yale. Students must submit the syllabus and their coursework to the DUS. Provisional approval for a course counting toward the major may occur before the program takes place. Final approval for any study abroad course can only take place after the completion of the study abroad program. Please use this Course Exception form to request that the study abroad course be approved.

Students should note that only language courses and electives may be petitioned to count toward their major requirements, with the exception of the London School of Economics’ summer courses “Introductory Microeconomics” and “Introductory Macroeconomics” in the Economics program. Additionally, no more than one summer study course plus one semester-long course, or two courses during a full semester abroad, may be petitioned.
