Study Away Programs

Credit for study away is limited to experiences that have been endorsed by the Study Away Review Committee the semester prior to participation in any given program. Transfer of credit is not available for programs that are not endorsed through that process, except for January and summer programs. The Handbook for Off-Campus Study details the procedures for selecting an appropriate study away program and for seeking endorsement of participation in that program. The handbook is available from the International Center.
The cost of a semester’s tuition at Macalester will be charged for up to 18 semester credits earned on an approved study away program. Financial aid awards will be adjusted to take the overall effect of this policy into account.
