It is the student’s responsibility to consult with the Arabic Department and the Office of International Programs regarding transfer of credits well before travel abroad.
Coursework completed at an approved overseas site can fulfill a variety of requirements, as well as free electives. Some courses are taught in English; however, one Arabic course per semester is mandatory.
Before initiating the application process, students and advisers should identify remaining degree requirements by reviewing degree audit through Student/ Faculty Access+. Students should be encouraged to pursue coursework in areas that distinguish the particular institution selected.
All overseas courses to be transferred toward the major should be pre-approved by the Arabic department on the study proposal.
Majors may transfer up to 2 courses for a semester abroad and up to 4 courses for a year abroad. A maximum of 16 credits/5 courses per semester are transferred to the Georgetown degree. No more than 10 courses for the full year are transferred.
Upon return, students' progress in Arabic will be assessed via examination of their academic records and/or departmental proficiency exams.
