Engineering Abroad

While it is our intention to offer the courses listed, changes are sometimes necessary.

A minimum of six credit hours must be maintained throughout the semester and are included in the cost of the program. If you enroll in more than six credit hours, you will be charged for those hours.

HUM 2730 — World Civilization/Humanities (3 credit hours) Daniel Adams:

An integration of the disciplines of art, drama, history, literature, music, philosophy, religion and science, and their influence in shaping ideas and values in the selected area of the world. The course content will reflect the context in which it will be taught. May count for up to three hours selected from the following: ART 1010, THEA 1010, ENG 2010 or ENG 2020, HIST 2100 or HIST 2110, MUS 1010-1015, PHIL 3010, or global perspectives. This course may be repeated for credit up to a maximum of 12 hours, provided the course is taken at different locations.

This course may not be taken as a repeat for a completed liberal arts course or to satisfy an additional liberal arts requirement. Determine how you intend to apply the credits, and then enroll in the appropriate number of hours. (Example: Student wants credit for ENG 2010 and MUS 1010; therefore, will enroll in six credit hours.) Credit may not be increased after the semester begins. Prior to the semester abroad, students must apply the credits to the appropriate course(s).

This course is offered to sophomore students in study abroad programs for two credit hours and satisfies the liberal arts requirement for either BOLD 2010 or BOLD 2030. Upperclassmen may take this course, even if they have already received credit for BOLD 2010 and BOLD 2030.
