Prior to beginning a study abroad program, students must contact the Director or DUS to seek approval of courses to be taken and counted towards the major. Students should be prepared to provide a syllabus for any courses to be counted toward the major. Students must meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies at least once each semester for advising and course approval before registering for classes.
