All Explorations/Study Abroad programs earn credit toward B-W graduation. Credit hours, not the letter grades, are transferred (grades of courses transferred in are included in the calculation of honors awards). Be sure to discuss the approval of transfer credit with the Explorations staff during the planning phase.
- Seminars Led by B-W Faculty:
The courses in these programs carry B-W credit. Most programs offer 12 to 16 semester credit hours.
- Partner Schools:
Four courses are usually the limit at these institutions, and each is usually worth 3 semester hours. The total of 12 hours allows time for weekend trips and activities with other students. Many of these courses have been preapproved by appropriate B-W departments.
- Independent Programs:
Credit depends on the institution and the courses taken. Courses are reviewed by faculty at B-W and approved for transfer credit before the student enrolls at the host school. It is very important to allow enough time to get syllabi and other information from the host institution so that a thorough review can be done on each course the student plans to take.
