Study Abroad Opportunities

If you're planning to study abroad and want to make sure your experience counts toward the E360 Program, here’s what you need to know.

What’s Staying the Same - these practices are still in place:
- Study Abroad for Credit: If you’re doing a credit-bearing exchange or provider program, you can use those credits as course substitutions for E360 (with department chair approval). Credit amounts may vary.[CL1]
- Transfer Credits: If you're taking a course at another university, you may be able to transfer the credits using the standard “Request to Take a Course Off Campus” form or check if it’s already approved in TES (Transfer Equivalency System). Information is on the Registrar webpage: www.delval.edu/registrar
- Courses with International Components: Some courses that include international travel or experiences are already approved for E360. Examples: EN 4030 – Place Studies, BY-3250 – Tropical Ecology.
- Partner Schools Abroad: You can still study at partner institutions like Hartpury University in England.
What’s Changing - Some updates to how certain experiences are handled:
- EX-0025 Cultural Experience Abroad (non-credit): This option has been removed. If you’re doing something abroad that’s not for credit, please contact CSPD to determine if the experience can be used towards E360.
- EX-2010 Career Exploration Experience Abroad: This course is no longer offered. If you’re doing an internship or career-related experience abroad, you’ll now enroll in EX-2010 Career Exploration Experience (domestic or international), or EX-3010 Academic Internship. This keeps everything streamlined and ensures your experience still counts toward E360.
