Please note that the above is a list of affiliated study
abroad programs that specialize in Economics. There are
many other affiliated programs that offer courses in this field.
Earning Major/Minor Credit Abroad
- Pick up an economics study abroad credit form from an economics adviser or at Anderson 303.
- Fill out pre-approval form, which calls for class descriptions.
- Take the completed pre-approval form to any economics adviser during office hours; s/he will look at the description and decide whether or not to pre-approve the class for credit. The economics department will grant up to a maximum of two economics credits for one term abroad (if the student takes two econ classes), and up to four for a full year abroad (again, assuming that the student takes four part-year economics classes or two full year econ classes). If the student takes a long spring term and takes three economics classes, we will grant three economics credits.
- Return the signed form to Anderson 303.
- Upon arrival back to NU, pick up the original form, fill out the final approval side, attach a transcript, have an advisor sign it, and return the form to Anderson 303. The form will be sent to your grade auditor at the registrar and will be recorded as economics credit.
-
Figure out which courses you want to take at NU when you return from study abroad. This is necessary because not all courses are offered every quarter.
