While you are abroad – Design department will not make course approvals while you are abroad, only in extreme cases. Be sure you do your work before you leave!

When you return – You will need to complete and submit a Modification Petition and include syllabus and course description of the course you would like to use for your major.

Advisor Tips

• Preparatory subject matter and electives can be taken abroad.
• Depth subject matter can satisfy a maximum of 2 studio courses and 2 design history courses.
• You must submit course descriptions prior to departure for preliminary approval and must submit course syllabi upon return for final approval.
