Religion
The Department of Religion welcomes study abroad for departmental majors in their junior year. Those juniors who study abroad in their fall semester will be exempt from the colloquium, but will be required to write a fall junior paper under the supervision of a religion department faculty member. Juniors who study abroad in the spring semester will write the required spring junior paper under the supervision of a religion department faculty member. Normally, students are expected to have junior year independent work completed before the start of their senior year.
Normally, two courses taken abroad may be counted as departmentals but cannot be used to fulfill departmental area requirements. All students must consult the Departmental Representative before leaving for their study abroad program and those who intend to receive departmental credit for courses taken abroad will need prior approval.
