Why Argos Abroad?
- Studying abroad on either Argos in Europe or Argos in Asia will put you three steps ahead in completing your degree.
- All majors can take these classes! These are General Education courses that count towards all majors.
- These courses count towards your Summer term course requirement! All students entering a university in the State University System with fewer than 60 semester hours credit are required to complete at least nine credits in the Summer term. Why not take these credits overseas?
- These courses can fulfill the Multicultural Course requirement! All students pursuing a bachelor's degree are required to complete at least one course that explores one or more of the dimensions of another culture (language, religion, socio-economic structures, etc.).
- Talk to your Academic Advisor! It’s important to plan your study abroad courses at the same time you register for Fall courses. Ask your advisor to save these courses for Summer.
